Explore the influence factors on primary lung cancer in Fujian province Han population under the use of generalized linear model / 中华流行病学杂志

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to use the data on lung cancer in Han Chinese in Fujian province to explore the value of a generalized,linear model and to investigate the impact related to environment factors on lung cancer as well as the independent and interaction effects on the development of lung cancer.SAS 9.2 was used to build a generalized linear model to evaluate the influence factors and interaction of lung cancer on both smokers and non-smokers.Results showed that the relationship of the factors was multiplied.Under the logistic regression analysis,seven risk factors and nine risk factors were noticed in smokers or in non-smokers,respectively.Heavy smokers and lung diseases appeared a positive multiplying effect on smokers while passive smoking and fresh fruits showed positive multiplying effects on non-smokers.The generalized linear models could filter suitable models thus facilitating further research on the interaction between the two.It seemed easy to carry on the comprehensive and rational analysis on related epidemiological data.
