Abstract

 

NORSK SAMMENDRAG

Når standardiserte insidensratioer (SIR) beregnes for et stort antall grupper, vil den observerte variasjon

i SIR-ene overestimere den sanne variasjon i risiko mellom gruppene. Med data fra en stor undersøkelse

av yrkesrelatert kreft illustreres statistiske metoder for å behandle problemet. Ulikheter i kreftrisiko

mellom yrkesgrupper kan skyldes forhold på arbeidsplassen eller skjevfordeling av livsstilsrelaterte

risikofaktorer. Resultatene for 31 kreftformer diskuteres ved hjelp av kjente risikofaktorer.
