Purpose:
The aim of the study is to investigate associations between socioeconomic and occupational factors and lymphoproliferative (LP) diseases.
Methods:
We performed a follow-up study on the economically active Swedish population, based on the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. Standardized incidence ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated in different social classes and occupations.
Results:
An increased risk for LP diseases was observed for physicians, plumbers, chemical process workers, and food manufacture workers among men and shoe and leather workers, mechanics, iron and metalware workers, and launderers and dry cleaners among women.
Conclusions:
Results suggest that socioeconomic and occupational factors have a minor effect on risk for LP diseases. Exposure to organic solvents may increase the risk for some LP diseases, although inconsistencies of findings between subcohorts do not rule out spurious associations.

The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
