A hospital-based case-control study among non-smoking women was conducted
to clarify risk factors in non-smoking females in Japan. Cases consisted of
144 non-smoking female lung cancer patients, and these were compared to 713
non-smoking female controls. The odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for
use of wood or straw as cooking fuels when subjects were 30 years old was
estimated as 1.77 (1.08 to 2.91). For those whose household members, other
than husbands, had smoked, the odds ratio was estimated as 1.50 (1.01 to
2.32). For those whose mothers had smoked, the odds ratio was estimated as
1.28 (0.71 to 2.31). Use of heating appliances did not show an elevated
risk. Some points to be noted in the study of low-risk agents for lung
cancer are discussed.
