Death certificates from 23,890 male and female non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) cases and 119,450 noncancer controls from 24 states for the period 1984-1989 were used to generate hypotheses regarding occupational associations. Cases were frequency matched by age, race, and gender with five controls per case. Odds ratios were calculated for 231 industries and 509 occupations. Significant associations were observed for a variety of white-collar professionals (i.e., real estate agents, secretaries, bookkeepers, teachers, postal employees, business agents, engineers, chemists, and medical professionals) and blue-collar occupations (i.e., firefighters, farm managers, aircraft mechanics, electronic repairers, mining machine operators, and crane and tower operators).
利用1984年至1989年期间来自24个州的23890例男性和女性非霍奇金淋巴瘤（NHL）病例以及119450例非癌症对照的死亡证明来生成关于职业关联的假设。病例按年龄、种族和性别与每个病例的五个对照进行频数匹配。计算了231个行业和509种职业的比值比。观察到各种白领职业（即房地产经纪人、秘书、簿记员、教师、邮政员工、商业代理人、工程师、化学家以及医学专业人员）和蓝领职业（即消防员、农场经理、飞机机械师、电子修理工、采矿机器操作员以及起重机和塔式起重机操作员）之间存在显著关联。
