Risk and Associated Factors
Age Rates increase with age reaching the highest levels in the eight and ninth decades of life.
Gender Males have higher rates than females.
Race & SES* Generally in the United States incidence rates are slightly lower in African Americans. Rates are higher in upper income groups.
Other Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma develops with increased frequency in individuals infected with certain viruses, particularly the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Exposures to agricultural chemicals and high-dose radiation exposures have also been implicated.

The age-specific incidence rates of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma increased with age, peaking in the age group 75-79 for males and 70-74 for females. No health districts had significantly more cases than expected based upon rates for the remainder of Idaho.
