Abstrakt: The article focuses on the Upper Midwest Health Study initiated by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to examine the risk of intracranial glioma in farm and rural residents in the United States. The population-based, case-control study evaluated the relationship between gliomas and rural and farm exposures among adults. Participants lived in non-metropolitan counties where the largest population center had fewer than 250,000 residents. Cases were diagnosed January 1, 1995 through January 31, 1997. Results show that moving to a farm as an adolescent was associated with greater risk of glioma.
