For total cumulative activity a significant trend in increasing risk was observed for moderate grade but not high grade tumours (heterogeneity p = 0.06).
For total cumulative activity a significant trend in increasing risk was observed for moderate grade but not high grade tumours (heterogeneity p = 0.06).
Firstly that manual handling of burdens which displayed a slight trend with high grade tumours did not show an association with total prostate cancer.
In regard to occupational physical workload no statistically significant association was observed overall but an increasing trend with level of exposure was observed for high grade compared with moderate grade tumours.
We also found cumulative activity-over-time to be modestly associated with prostate cancer risk and showed a small trend with the moderate grade tumours.
