A series of case-control studies have been carried out to compare farmers reported to the Illinois State Cancer Registry (ISCR) with other males reported to the ISCR between 1986 and 1988. Data on the number of farms in each Illinois county producing given agricultural commodities were obtained from the United States Census of Agriculture and used as surrogate exposure indicators. Employment as a farmer was found to be associated with cancer of the eye [odds ratio (OR) = 6.49, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.78, 23.71], lip (OR = 4.42, 95% CI = 2.46, 7.94), prostate (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.99, 1.35) and leukaemia (OR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.01, 2.25). Wheat and soybean production were found to be positively associated with leukaemia. Hay and beef production were found to be positively associated with cancer of the prostate.
开展了一系列病例对照研究,以比较1986年至1988年期间向伊利诺伊州癌症登记处(ISCR)报告的农民与向该登记处报告的其他男性。从美国农业普查中获取了伊利诺伊州每个县生产特定农产品的农场数量数据,并将其用作替代暴露指标。结果发现,农民职业与眼癌[比值比(OR)=6.49,95%置信区间(CI)=1.78,23.71]、唇癌(OR = 4.42,95%CI = 2.46,7.94)、前列腺癌(OR = 1.15,95%CI = 0.99,1.35)和白血病(OR = 1.51,95%CI = 1.01,2.25)有关。小麦和大豆生产与白血病呈正相关。干草和牛肉生产与前列腺癌呈正相关。
