Incidence Rates of Malignant Diseases in Childhood and Adolescence in Children to Swedish Fishermen
Author(s): Ann Charlotte Dreifaldt, Michael Carlberg and Lennart HardellAnn Charlotte Dreifaldt, Michael Carlberg and Lennart Hardell
In this register-based study the risks of childhood malignant diseases in the offspring of Swedish fishermen were analysed. Having a fisherman as a parent was used as surrogate for exposure, both pre- and postnatal, to Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) due to high fish consumption. A cohort of fishermen was identified by Statistics Sweden by using the national census registration carried out from 1960 to 1990. For each fisherman, 4 matched – population-based referents were drawn. The children of fishermen and referents were identified and matched against the Swedish cancer registry 1960-1998, the causes of death registry 1960-1997 and notifications of deaths 1998-1999. Children diagnosed with cancer before the parent appeared in the census were excluded. Mantel- Haenszel analysis, adjusted for age and gender, was performed. Inc.. View More»
