Results: After first searching 262 potentially relevant studies was yielded. A total of 9 studies were included. The results of the random effect model were demonstrated the age-standardized rate (ASR) of NHL was 4.43, 95% CI (2.76 to 6.11) among males and 2.79, 95 % CI (1.71 to 3.88) among females.
