Occupational and other environmental factors and multiple myeloma: a population based case-control study.
Epidemiological studies on the aetiology of multiple myeloma are reviewed as a background to this population based case-control study performed in an area with a high incidence of multiple myeloma. The purpose was to identify and evaluate several suspected environmental factors in relation to this d...

The purpose was to identify and evaluate several suspected environmental factors in relation to this disease.

The controls were matched for age, sex, county, and vital status.

Epidemiological studies on the aetiology of multiple myeloma are reviewed as a background to this population based case-control study performed in an area with a high incidence of multiple myeloma. The purpose was to identify and evaluate several suspected environmental factors in relation to this disease.
