Multivariate analysis of certain specified occupational exposures among men with adjustment for age and smoking; analysis of: 74 incident cases and 382 referents; and 176 cases and 630 referents in the pooled material
| Exposure | Incident cases | Pooled material | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. of exposed (cases/referents) | LOR | 95% CI | No. of exposed (cases/referents) | LOR | 95% CI | |
| Logistic odds ratios (LORs) along with confidence intervals (CI) are shown. Latency requirement is 20 years. Results are presented when LORs ⩽0.5 or ⩾1.5. | ||||||
