Blue-collar work is a risk factor for developing IgG4-related disease of the biliary tract and pancreas.

Furthermore, cases with blue-collar work ( ALOHA median = 37 years, IQR = 18-32 years; DOM median = 36 years, IQR = 17-45 years) showed a trend towards longer exposure to ALOHA compounds and were exposed to DOM compounds for significantly longer during their career compared to control blue-collar workers ( ALOHA median = 32 years, IQR = 14-42 years, Wilcoxon signed-rank test p = 0.10; DOM median = 30 years, IQR = 9-39 years, Wilcoxon signed-rank test p = 0.01, Figs S3 and S4 ).
