An infective origin of childhood leukemia has been postulated, with leukemia developing as a rare response to an infection. Population mixing can result in increased contacts between infected and susceptible individuals and may increase the risk of leukemia. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between residential mobility as an indicator of population mixing at individual level and the risk of leukemia in children (<15 years).
