  • Title: Population mixing and childhood leukaemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in census wards in England and Wales, 1966-87.
    Author: Dickinson HO, Hammal DM, Bithell JF, Parker L.
    Journal: Br J Cancer; 2002 May 06; 86(9):1411-3. PubMed ID: 11986772.
    Abstract:
    We found an increased risk of childhood leukaemia with higher levels of inward migration, particularly from outside the region (rate ratio=1.9, 95%CI: 1.2-2.9, P<0.01). This significant effect was observed only in urban areas, although a marked but non-significant effect was seen in affluent, rural areas.
