Pesticide exposure (Lifetime-Days of Exposure) and adjusted risks for NHL Subtypes.

1During the period from enrollment (1993–1997) to December 31, 2010 in NC and December 31, 2011 in Iowa.
2Numbers of cases in columns do not sum to total number of NHL cases (n = 523) due to missing data. Ever/never use of all 26 pesticides (table 3) do not always match with exposure-response data in table 4 because of missing data to calculate lifetime-days of use.
3Adjusted for age (<45, 45–49, 50–54, 55–59, 60–64, 65–69, ≥70), State (NC vs. IA), Race (White vs. Black), AHS herbicides (in tertiles of total herbicide use-days). Significant RR and 95% confidence limits are bolded.
4RR was not calculated if the number of exposed cases for any NHL subtype was <6 and these cells are marked XXX. Four pesticides included in Table 2 (i.e., aldicarb, benomyl, dieldrin and parathion) were not included in Table 4 because no NHL subtype included≥6 cases of a specific cell types with lifetime-days of exposure.
