Incidence of Lymphoid and Myeloid Leukemia in US Active-Duty Military Men According to Occupation and Comparisons with Incidence from the US Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Populations

Abstract

This historical prospective study determined incidence rates, based on first hospitalizations, of lymphoid, myeloid, and all leukemias among military men serving on active duty between 1 January 1989 and 31 December 1999. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated to determine if incidence of leukemia in military men differed from incidence rates In the 9 area U.S. Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) civilian population. Military occupations were grouped into 35 categories according to likelihood of similar exposures, and age-specific person-years were calculated for each occupational group.
