A number of studies have looked at the influence of church activity on cancer among Latter-day Saint men and women. In each of these studies, religiously active Latter-day Saints showed lower levels of cancer and longer life expectancy than did less active members. In order to obtain a current report of religious preference, church activity, and tobacco smoking prevalence in Utah, we added two questions on religion and church attendance to the Utah Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The results presented in this report were based on 782 respondents in February through April 2000. [From the text]
