Cancer risk in Ugandan population.

Parameters	Pb	Zn	∑ ILCR
	Mean ILCR (×10^−4)
Adult beef ILCR levels	1.37^b	0.0293^a	1.399^b
Children beef ILCR levels	1.92^b	0.0410^a	1.961^b
values of adults and children on beef levels	0.5013	0.001	—
Adult milk ILCR levels	0.283^a	0.0133^a	0.296^a
Children milk ILCR levels	0.837^a	0.0393^a	0.876^a
