Abstract:
Objective To analyze systematically the risks and protective factors of lung cancer in female residents of Zhoushan,so as to provide evidence for early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.Methods A population-based case-control study involving interviews with 215 lung cancer female patients and 227 controls was carried out from October,2010 to October,2012.The subjects were interviewed and information about their exposure to related factors was surveyed with questionnaire.Statistical analysis by using single-factor and multivariate conditional Logistic regression was performed to determine causes and protective factors of lung cancer.Results Passive smoking index ≥ 50 man-years (OR =1.568,95% CI =25.134-63.327),loving to eat pickled products (OR =4.778,95% CI =3.462-784.219),frequent occupational exposure to dust (OR =3.543,95% CI =4.003-115.014) and excessive exposure to kitchen smog (OR =8.113,95%CI =0.135-0.763) could increase the risk of lung cancer.On the other hand,lovingto take vegetables (OR =0.030,95% CI =0.103-0.489),loving to eat eggs (OR =0.023,95% CI =3.132-56.427),loving to take shellfish (OR =0.743,95% CI =4.671-91.547),initial reproductive age between 20 and 30 (OR =0.032,95% CI =4.127-10.736) and high satisfaction with family life (OR =0.009,95% CI =0.581-8.169) were all protective factors against cancer risk.Conclusions Passive smoking,intake of pickled products,occupational exposure to dust and exposure to kitchen smog were all main risk factors for lung cancer among females in Zhoushan archipelago,while frequent intake of vegetables,seashells,eggs and high satisfaction with family life seemed to have protective effects on lung cancer.
