[Risk factors for cryptorchidism].

Objectives: To identify the main risk factors for cryptorchidism in southeast Spain, and their possible association with environmental factors.

Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, the target population consisted of babies born in the University of Granada Hospital (UGH) in Granada, Spain, between 1 January 1992 and 31 December 1999, both inclusive.
