To evaluate the association between cigarette smoking and bladder cancer risk and compare modern risk estimates across sexes with historical cohort data.
Assessed smoking-related bladder cancer risk and population attributable risks (PARs) in the contemporary NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study cohort.
Compared risk estimates to pooled US data from historical cohorts established between 1963 and 1987.
Relative risks for bladder cancer linked to smoking were substantially higher in the recent NIH-AARP cohort than in older pooled US cohorts.
Population attributable risks (PARs) for bladder cancer among female smokers were comparable to those observed among male smokers.
