Statistical analysis was carried out by logistic regression (see results section for details of the model) using the model formula: affection status ~ pesticide exposure + coffee + age + (age ∗ pesticide exposure); +OR and CI calculated by logistic regression analysis for the ~10-year age difference between cases and controls. *Ever use of pesticides at home or at work, or >50% lifetime residence in rural areas.
