^aDupree used four different populations: two Y12 cohorts (1943–1947 cohort and 1947– cohort), Malinckrodt (1942–1966), and Fernald (1951–1989). Dupree’s population and Frome’s have several hundred individuals in common (the exact number is not known to the committee). ^bMean follow-up applies to the cases in this case-control study. ^cThere were 14 lung cancer deaths in male workers in industrial jobs (the category that is used in Table 4.9).
