We found an increased risk of childhood leukaemia with higher levels of inward migration, particularly from outside the region (rate ratio=1.9, 95%CI: 1.2-2.9, P<0.01). This significant effect was observed only in urban areas, although a marked but non-significant effect was seen in affluent, rural areas.
我们发现,随着向内迁移水平的提高,儿童白血病风险增加,尤其是来自该地区以外的迁移(率比=1.9,95%置信区间:1.2-2.9,P<0.01)。仅在城市地区观察到这种显著影响,尽管在富裕的农村地区也观察到了明显但不显著的影响。
