Acta Oncologica, 06/19/09
Pukkala E et al. - In a trial presenting cancer incidence data by occupational category for the Nordic populations, it was noted that this study was able to repeat most of the confirmed associations between occupations and cancers.
Methods- The study was undertaken as a cohort study with linkage of individual records based on the personal identity codes used in all Nordic countries.
- In the censuses, information on occupation for each person was provided through free text in self-administered questionnaires.
- Data were centrally coded and computerised in the statistical offices.
- Original occupational codes were reclassified into 53 occupational categories and 1 group of economically inactive persons.
- Plumbers, seamen, and mechanics were the occupations with the highest risk in the present study.
- Mesothelioma was the cancer type showing the largest relative differences between the occupations.
- Outdoor workers such as fishermen, gardeners, and farmers had the highest risk of lip cancer, while the lowest risk was found among indoor workers such as physicians and artistic workers.
