Use of agricultural pesticides and prostate cancer risk in the Agricultural Health Study cohort.
The authors examined the relation between 45 common agricultural pesticides and prostate cancer incidence in a prospective cohort study of 55,332 male pesticide applicators from Iowa and North Carolina with no prior history of prostate cancer. Data were collected by means of self-administered questionnaires completed at enrollment (1993-1997). Cancer incidence was determined through population-...
متن کاملRisk of total and aggressive prostate cancer and pesticide use in the Agricultural Health Study.
Because pesticides may operate through different mechanisms, the authors studied the risk of prostate cancer associated with specific pesticides in the Agricultural Health Study (1993-2007). With 1,962 incident cases, including 919 aggressive prostate cancers among 54,412 applicators, this is the largest study to date. Rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated by using Poisson re...
متن کاملA Review of Pesticide Exposure and Cancer Incidence in the Agricultural Health Study Cohort
We reviewed epidemiologic evidence related to occupational pesticide exposures and cancer incidence in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) cohort. Studies were identified from the AHS publication list available on a Medline/PubMed database search in March 2009. Findings related to lifetime-days and/or intensity-weighted lifetime-days of pesticide use are the primary focus of this review, becaus...
متن کاملCancer incidence among male pesticide applicators in the Agricultural Health Study cohort exposed to diazinon.
Little is known about the potential carcinogenicity associated with routine application of diazinon, a common organophosphate insecticide. The authors explored a possible association of diazinon exposure with cancer risk in the Agricultural Health Study, a prospective cohort of licensed pesticide applicators in Iowa and North Carolina enrolled in 1993-1997. A total of 23,106 male applicators pr...
متن کاملSuicide and Pesticide Use among Pesticide Applicators and Their Spouses in the Agricultural Health Study
BACKGROUND An association may exist between pesticide exposure and suicide. OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate the existence of an association between pesticide use and suicide using data from the Agricultural Health Study (AHS), a prospective cohort study of licensed pesticide applicators and their spouses in Iowa and North Carolina. METHODS Via linkage to state mortality files and the Nation...
