a Adjusted for sex, age at reference date, race, study center, education level, history of hypertension, smoking status, BMI (5 years prior to interview) and family history of cancer. Similar patterns of association were observed for: b SIC 73, 734 and 7349; c SIC 82 and 8221; d SIC 91 and 9199; e SIC 92, 922, 9221; f SIC 97 and 9711. *P-value <0.05. P-trends <0.05 for duration (Never, <5 years, 5+ years) of employment are bolded. Results presented for a posteriori high- and low-risk industries only if we observed (1) a significant association with ever employment or (2) both a significant association with duration of employment and P-value for ever employment of 0.10 or lower. Results presented if a job was held by >10 participants.
