Occupational risk of cutaneous melanoma by anatomic site in Swedish men (whole cohort)

Occupational titles	Head and neck				Thorax				Upper limbs				Lower limbs
			Intrasectorial				Intrasectorial				Intrasectorial				Intrasectorial
	C	SIR	RR	95% CI	C	SIR	RR	95% CI	C	SIR	RR	95% CI	C	SIR	RR	95% CI
C, cases; SIR, age-period standardised incidence ratio; RR, age-period-town size-geographically adjusted intrasectorial risk ratio; CI, confidence interval. All occupations with a minimum of 5 cases in all cases and (a) RR ⩾1.5 for global cutaneous melanoma in the cohort or subcohort, or (b) a minimum of 3 cases and RR ⩾2 in any of the sites in the cohort, regardless of its statistical significance are reported. Italicised job titles have ⩾3 cases, RR over the established threshold for the sites (2.00) and p<0.05. Bold text indicates only p<0.05. No occupation fulfilled the selected criteria in sector I (administrative and managerial work).
