Note. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; H/HH = husband/head of household; SCC = squamous cell carcinoma; UC = urothelial carcinoma. Adjustment was done for education, pesticide use at home, history of schistosomiasis, age at first pregnancy, and the matching variables (age and residence location).
All cases included SCC, UC, and adenocarcinoma.
