Workers in seven workshops were categorised into high-, medium- and low-exposure subgroups, and conditional logistic regression was applied to estimate the odds ratios for lung cancer risk associated with the different exposure levels. Smoking, age at first exposure, and exposure duration were considered as covariates\/confounding factors. A joint effect of asbestos exposure and smoking on lung cancer risk was analysed using a conditional logistical model.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>54% of cases had high exposure and 24% low exposure, while 24% of controls had high exposure and 44% low exposure. Smoking was more common in cases (90%) than in controls (73%). The adjusted OR for lung cancer was 3.66 (95% CI 1.61 to 8.29) for high exposure and was elevated slightly for medium exposure (1.25; 95% CI 0.47 to 3.31). Smoking was related to lung cancer risk (OR 3.33; 95% CI 1.10 to 10.08). In comparison with the low-exposure non-smoking group, the OR for the high-exposure smoking group was 10.39 (1.34 to 82.45), in contrast to 5.23 (0.50 to 54.58) for high-exposure non-smoking workers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>These results confirm the strong association between exposure to chrysotile asbestos and lung cancer risk, and support an interactive effect of asbestos exposure and smoking which is more than additive.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2009.051615","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,11]],"date-time":"2010-09-11T02:20:40Z","timestamp":1284171640000},"page":"867-871","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Lung cancer mortality from exposure to chrysotile asbestos and smoking: a case\u2013control study within a cohort in China"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"Eiji","family":"Yano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaorong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mianzhen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hong","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhiming","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024052300264444000_67.12.867.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.200801-063OC"},{"key":"2024052300264444000_67.12.867.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"179","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.86.2.179","article-title":"Occupational exposure to chrysotile asbestos and cancer risk: a review of the amphibole hypothesis","volume":"86","author":"Stayner","year":"1996","journal-title":"Am J Public Health"},{"key":"2024052300264444000_67.12.867.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(05)79440-X"},{"key":"2024052300264444000_67.12.867.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2006.031005"},{"key":"2024052300264444000_67.12.867.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2008.044362"},{"key":"2024052300264444000_67.12.867.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.2153315"},{"key":"2024052300264444000_67.12.867.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10408440802273156"},{"key":"2024052300264444000_67.12.867.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/154.6.538"},{"key":"2024052300264444000_67.12.867.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2004.014472"},{"key":"2024052300264444000_67.12.867.10","unstructured":"Rothman KJ .
