We observed associations between uCd and cancer mortality in
men and women. In addition, with six additional years of
follow-up compared to a previous report from this cohort,
12
we
examined specific cancers responsible for the excess risk of
cancer mortality. The association of uCd with total cancer
mortality and with mortality from specific cancers was in
general stronger in men than in women. In men, much of the
excess risk was associated with lung cancer death, in both
smokers and never-smokers, consistent with the results from
a Belgian population-based prospective study
