The age-standardized incidence rates of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the province of Padova during the period 1970-1974 were 3.19/10(5)/year for males and 1.60/10(5)/year for females. These rates are similar to those found in other industrialized countries and slightly higher than in the province of Torino. An increasing trend with age is described, beginning in the age group 35-44, while low rates were found in younger ages in both sexes. No relevant pattern was shown in the geographical distribution of cases, and no observed/expected ratio was significant in any of the administrative districts considered. The influence of environmental factors and the limitations due to uncertain diagnostic criteria and the small size of the population considered are discussed.
1970 - 1974年期间，帕多瓦省非霍奇金淋巴瘤的年龄标准化发病率男性为3.19/10⁵/年，女性为1.60/10⁵/年。这些发病率与其他工业化国家的发病率相似，略高于都灵省。描述了从35 - 44岁年龄组开始随年龄增长的趋势，而在两个性别的较年轻年龄段发病率较低。病例的地理分布没有显示出相关模式，在所考虑的任何一个行政区，观察到的/预期的比率都不显著。讨论了环境因素的影响以及由于诊断标准不确定和所考虑人口规模小而存在的局限性。
