Figures & data

Table 1. Demographic variables of the study populations of bladder and lung cancer in Nordic countries.

Figure 1. Smoking prevalence on the 53 occupational categories estimated based on standardized incidence ratios (SIR) of lung cancer in Nordic males. Regression line A: Estimation based on all 53 occupations (y = α + βx). Regression line B: Estimation based only on 37 occupations excluding occupations with probable strong occupation-related risk factors other than smoking; miners and quarry workers, drivers, smelting workers, mechanics, plumbers, welders, painters, bricklayers, printers, beverage workers, tobacco workers, glass makers, packers, hairdressers launderers and gardeners (y = α + βx).
