To investigate the association between head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) risk and occupational exposure to flour dust in women and men, using data from ICARE, a French population-based case-control study.
The analysis included 2053 cases of HNSCC and 3507 controls. Lifelong occupational history was collected. A job-exposure matrix was used to assess exposure to flour dust. Odds-ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), adjusted for smoking, alcohol drinking, and asbestos exposure, were estimated with logistic regression models.
Ever exposure to flour dust was associated with elevated ORs in women (OR = 2.15, 95%CI: 1.01 4.55) and in men (OR = 1.55, 95%CI: 1.11 2.17). In women, the risk increased with the probability, the duration, and the cumulative level of exposure. No dose-response relationships were observed in men.
Although the results were less conclusive in men than in women, overall, these findings provide some support to the hypothesis of a role of flour dust in the occurrence of HNSCC.
为了研究面粉尘职业暴露与头颈部鳞状细胞癌（HNSCC）风险之间的关系，本研究利用法国基于人群的病例对照研究 ICARE 的数据进行了分析。
该分析纳入了 2053 例 HNSCC 病例和 3507 例对照。收集了终生职业史。使用职业暴露矩阵评估面粉尘暴露情况。采用 logistic 回归模型，调整了吸烟、饮酒和石棉暴露因素后，估计了比值比（OR）及其 95%置信区间（CI）。
女性（OR=2.15，95%CI：1.01-4.55）和男性（OR=1.55，95%CI：1.11-2.17）中，曾有面粉尘暴露与 HNSCC 风险增加有关。在女性中，风险随暴露概率、暴露持续时间和累积暴露水平的增加而增加。在男性中未观察到剂量-反应关系。
尽管男性的结果不如女性的结论明确，但总体而言，这些发现为面粉尘在 HNSCC 发生中的作用提供了一些支持。
