What is Occupation and risk of female breast cancer: A case‐control study in Morocco about?
## Abstract ## Background Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among Moroccan women. Environmental and occupational factors may play a role in breast cancer etiology. This study aimed to investigate the association between occupation, industry, and breast cancer risk among Moroccan women. ## Methods A total of 300 breast cancer cases and 300 controls (matched by age and area of residence) were included in this study. Full occupational history was collected, with a detailed description of each job held for at least 6 months. Occupations were coded according to the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO 08) and the Moroccan Analytical Classification of Professions (2001). Industries were coded according to the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (2008). Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusted for potential confounders were estimated by using conditional logistic regression. ## Results An overall decreased risk of breast cancer was observed among women doing only household work (OR = 0.32; 95% CI = 0.18‐0.55). An increased risk of breast cancer was observed among women in agricultural occupations,
