did rot preclude eiticim of the study on ditferent qrtRSids. first,
the research .ork - started in 1966 - did rot initially intend to
look at the pasaive snokirq-lunq canoer associaLlm. This parzicular
:mture of the study ssiqM have affened the quality of the
iSora+stion in several oppoaite .+eys. an the one hand. it sey be
that the likelihood of bias in 'reporc.wq' or *irrtervievirq' was
less th.n if awell-denelopsd hypot'rsis was being testad. This is
because the study sub)ects, as .ell as the intarvie.ers, yere
obviously blind to a hypotAesis which was non-eci.stent at the tine of
data collection. On the other hand. we should caLsider that the
research. rot initially intended to study the effects of passive
smckirtiq, say rot have bem as thoraqh in the asaer2ainsent of
eaposure to passive saokinq u.ould be necTssary to detect a noderate
or snsll effect. This latter point is not wrrisare. hoyeweer, since it

In ad3i:lon, the fact that both case.s and ooxKrols were

Iaportant drasbacks can be !ourd in the st-dy by Pelayo Cnr±ea
et. al.. Its sain disadvantage is the faet that the aaber of
participants is so ssr11 that any of the poasible strenqt.hs of the
study - such as the 100% histologic catfinwtion of diaqnoai.^, -
fail to carpensate for this weakness.
A more recent epidenioloqic study on the lung cancer-passive

Nolford et. al. (87) have publisded a sethod to ualyze psirrise
ntrtad studies based an the linear logistic model desQibed by
Cornfield et. a1. (88). As pointed out by the authors, this method
sha+s several fe.tures that sake it the best available choice to
analya data sets sos3h as the present one. First, it allo+s us to
obtain the estSmte of effect for one or scre esFusure variables While
controlling fa variables not cauiderad in the m.ttunq. Secnnd, it
can provide estimatas of the effect ass,ociated with differ-ent levels
of one or sora categorical espoeure variables.. as vell as t_'x
estinates of effett for the levels (tr+e unit darqe) of one or nore
cm_iruuu exposurn variabies. t4d third, it alloys us easily to
obtain estiaates associatad ratA the different levels of the setctunq
variables.
In this adaotation of the logirtic nUdel the regrhsor variables
are rerpresentrd by the ease-ctntrol differences of the value for Jrn
exposure (or cmfouriinq) variables, the intercept is not included,

The cit-off points for the categories were cMsen by following
