Abstract
We analysed age and sex-specific trends in the incidence of Hodgkinʹs lymphoma in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland during 1978–97. The incidence of Hodgkinʹs lymphoma decreased significantly in all age groups above 40 years; there was a significant increase in incidence among adolescents and young adults. This increase occurred primarily for Hodgkinʹs lymphoma of the nodular sclerosis subtype. These observations emphasise the need to identify risk factors for Hodgkinʹs lymphoma in the young.
