| Abstract |
This study on the relationship between occupation and lung cancer in New Zealand involved interviews of 457 cases aged 20-75 years notified to the New Zealand Cancer Registry during 2007-2008, and 792 population controls. Information was collected on demographic details, potential confounders and employment history. Associations were estimated using logistic regression adjusted for gender, age, ethnicity, smoking, and socio-economic status. Elevated odds ratios (ORs) were observed for sawmill, wood panel and related wood-processing plant operators (OR 4.63), butchers (OR 8.77), rubber and plastics products machine operators (4.27), heavy truck drivers (OR 2.24) and workers in petroleum, coal, chemical and associated product manufacturing (OR 1.80); non-significantly elevated risks were also observed for loggers, welders and flame-cutters, pressers and electric and electronic equipment assemblers. Other findings are discussed. |
