A Population-Based Family Case-Control Study of Sun Exposure and Follicular Lymphoma Risk.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Epidemiologic evidence suggests an inverse association between sun exposure and follicular lymphoma risk.

Methods

We conducted an Australian population-based family case-control study based on 666 cases and 459 controls (288 related, 171 unrelated). Participants completed a lifetime residence and work calendar and recalled outdoor hours on weekdays, weekends, and holidays in the warmer and cooler months at ages 10, 20, 30, and 40 years, and clothing types worn in the warmer months. We used a group-based trajectory modeling approach to identify outdoor hour trajectories over time and examined associations with follicular lymphoma risk using logistic regression.

Results

We observed an inverse association between follicular lymphoma risk and several measures o
