Background. In a French large population-based case-control study we investigated the dose-response relationship between @entity2 and occupational exposure to diesel motor exhaust (DME), taking into account @entity1355 exposure. Methods. Exposure to DME was assessed by questionnaire. Asbestos was taken into account through a global indicator of @entity3675 or by a specific JEM. Results. We found a crude dose response relationship with most of the indicators of DME exposure, including with the cumulative exposure index. All results were affected by adjustment for @entity1355 exposure. The dose response relationships between @entity2 were observed among subjects never exposed to @entity1355 . Conclusions. Exposure to DME and to @entity1355 is frequently found among the same subjects, which may explain why dose-response relationships in previous studies that adjusted for @entity1355 exposure were inconsistent.
