Among participants with a residential duration at enrollment of at least 10 years, we computed 15-year (1990-2005) averages of log2-transformed arsenic, nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (N=59,881), and uranium concentrations (N=56,314). We estimated hazard ratios (HRs, 95% CIs) for all epithelial ovarian cancers (n=424) and the high-grade serous histotype (n=203), using Cox proportional hazards regression, adjusting for age, body mass index, menopause status, oral contraceptive use, and parity.
