| Abstract: |
In recent reports, multiple myeloma has been linked to use of hair coloring products containing mutagenic and carcinogenic chemicals. A population-based case-control study in Iowa of 173 White men with multiple myeloma and 650 controls obtained information on hair dye use. Risk of multiple myeloma was significantly elevated (OR=1.9) among hair dye users and was greatest among those using hair dyes at least once a month for a year or more (OR=4.3). These data, along with results from other studies, suggest that use of hair dyes contributes to the development of multiple myeloma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
