(0.9,2.3). Our results were similar to other epidemiologic smdies of lung cancer and exposure to ETS. which have consictently shown a 1.2- to 1.5-fold risk of lung cancer (National Research Council, ]986: California Environmental Protection Agenc). 19971. Studies of ETS exposure in China are of particular interest. since lung cancer rates in females, who are mostly non-smokers. are high and ORs for lung cancer for active smokers compared with never-smokers have been consistently found to range from '_ to 4(Liu, 1992). The OR for ever-smokea compared with never- smokers in our complete data was 1.7 (1.2.2.3), and ORs by pack-years of smoking increased monotonieally to an OR of 4.5 for 30 and more pack-years of smoking. While ORs for active smokers in our sludy are low compared with westem studies. it nonetheless appears that subjects who are exposed passively to ETS are at a risk comparable to levels found in studies in western countries. There have been several epidemiologic studies of ETS in China. A meta-unalvsis of 6 studies reported nooverall excess risk for am ETS exposure with OR=O-91, 95% CI (0.8-I.1). although ther.- waa a significant trend of increasing risk with increasing exposurr. as measured bv number of ci¢srenes rer dav nr.d .- ~r ~r,hah- N

The interprctation of this meta-analyais however is problematic, since severxl studies (Gao er af., 1987; Lam a al.. 1987; Geng er of., 1988; Liu er ul., 1993: Wang er af., 1994. 1996). which predated the meta-anaiysis. were not included. Although results fmm individual studies are mixed, the overall evidence supports an increased risk of lung cancer with EI'S exposure (Table IV). Using results in Table IV and a random effects model (Laird and Mosteller, 1990; White- 143 head and Whilehead. 1991), a summary OR with 95% CI for exposure to ETS is 1.3 (1.1.1.7). For 0, <20 and ~20 cigarettes per day of ETS exposure, summary ORs and 95% Cls were 1.0, 1.6 (1.3,2.1), and 2.2 (1.73.0). respectively. with p<0.01 for the test of Irend.

Tests of homogeneity of OR trends among categories were not statistically significant. except for the trend in ORs for pack-years of ETS exposure in adulthood by type of current dwelling and type of longest lived-in dwelling. In these two cases, ORs for pack- years of ETS exposure in adulthood inceased among those whose current house or longest lived-in house was an underground de- sign. We also found no confounding of the EPS associations by prior diagnosis by a physician of one or more lung diseases, including asthma, tuberculosis- bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma or emphysema. Finally, the results for 6TS exposure were similar when data from rsextof-kin interviews were omined or only histologically confirmed cases were inchlded. With data restricted to 115 cases and 501 cnnVols who were self-respondents and never smoked, ORs and 95% CIs for ever exposed to ETS in childhood and adulthood were 1.75 (1.12.8) and 0.76 (0.4,1.3). respectively, compared with 1.52 and 0.90 for all nevu-stnokers, tud ORs increased with pad:-years of ETS exposure-ORs forO. 1-9. 10-19 and 20+ pack-years of 1.00, L93- 2-12 and 2.62 for childhood exposure (tesr for vend, p-0-03) and 1.00, 0.67. 0.72 and 0.63 for adulthood exposure.

Of these. 43 cases could not be located and 3 cases moved out of the study area resulting in a total number of 886 cases (656 ma)es and 230 females). Diagnoses of lung cancer were based on clinicaVradiological criteria for 533 cases (60%) and pathological evidence (such as bronchofiberoplic biopsy. sputum cytology and lymphatic node biopsy) for 353 casea (40%). A total of 1.966 controls was randomly selected from 1990 census lists for the 2 prefectures and frequency matched on sge in 1995 to cases in 5-year age groups, within categories of sex and prefecture. The number of controls in each svara was determined by the expected age distribution for lung cancer cases obtained from a search of medical records within the prefectures for 1991 as pan of a feasibility study. Twice as many controls as expected cases were selected. Among controls, 6 refused interview, 23 moved out of the study area, 62 could not be located and 35 could not be interviewed for other reasons. A total of 455 female and 1.310 male convols were included in the article. Interviews were conducted at home or at the hospital for all cases and controls by trained interviewers using a closed-form- struttured questionnaire. We asked detailed questiona on demo- graphic characteristics, smoking habits of the subject, spouse and other cohabitants, diet and cooking practices. as well as detailed occupational. residential and medical histories_ Whenever possible, interviews were conducted with the subjects themselves. If subjects were deceased or too ill, interviews were conducted with next-of-kin, usually the spouse. Next-of-kin pro- vided information for 481 (54%) cases. Nextof-kin interviews were assotiated with year of lung cancer incidence. Among cases identified after 1996, 29% were ncxt-of-kin interviews, while among cases identifirrl in earlier calendar years, 74% were next- of-kin interviews. Next-of-kin provided information for 71 of 1-765 (4.0%) control subjects. For the analysis of ETS exposure, we restricted data to never- smokers- defined as never smoked cigarettes or pipes regularly for 6 months or longer. There were 200 female and 33 male long cancer cases and 407 female and 114 male controls who never smoked. Numbers for the variables in the tables differ due to nussing data. Statistical annfvs(s We computed odds mtios (ORs). adjusting for the reference age defined as age at disease incidence for cases and age at fnterview for controls. sex and prefecmre, and, where appropriate. other factors using logistic regression models as implemented in the Epicure computer package (Preston er al.. 1996). We calculated 95% Wald confidence intervals (CI) for ORs and used a score statistic for tests of trend. ETS eaposure To estimate ETS exposure, we asked each subject or neA-of-kin about the smoking habits of all cohabitants of the household during the subjeci s childhood, defined as ages 18 years and urder. and during adulthood. The information included number of cigarettes smoked per day (store-bought), and number of I/nng (50 gm) of tobacco per month smoked as (hand-rolled) cigarettes or in Chi- nesc long-srnm pipes. The source of ETS ezposure reflected the changing smoking habits in these areas of China. with pipe smok- ing more prevalent historically and cigarette smoking more pre.- alent recenUy. Among those exposed to ETS in childhood, 9.5. 75.2 and 15 .3'h were exposed from persons who smoked cigarenes only. pipes only or smoked both cigar<nes and pipes- respectively. In childhood, mean ETS exposure from cigarettes was 9.6 and 10.7 cigarettes perday from cigarette only smokers and mixed smokers, respectively, while mean ETS exposure from pipes was 9.4 and 10A /lang per month from pipe only and mixed smokers. respec- tlvely. The sources of ETS exposure changed in adulthood. Among those exposed to ETS in adulthood, 35.3. 27.t and 37.6'k were exposed from persons who smoked cigarettes only, pipes only or both cigarettes and pipes. Means were 14.6 and 12.5 cigarettes per day from cigarette only and mixed smokers. respectively. and 9.8 and 8 7 llang per month from pipe only and mixed smokers. Initial,analyses indicated that the log-linear increases in ORs for ETS exposure per cigarette smoked per day and per hang of tobacco smoked per month in Chinese long-stem pipes were ho- mogeneous (p=0.36 and p=0.44 for tests of homogeneity of trends in childhood and in adulthood, respectively). ETS exposure in cigarettes per day and Gang per rnonth were therefore summed to obtain total ETS exposure in childhood and in adulthood. We refer to this sum as cigarettes per day of ETS exposure. Analyses also revealed ORs for ETS exposure in childhood and in adulthood were statistically homogeneous in females and males. Consequently. unless rated, we show results for females and males combined. with adjustment for sex. RPSULTS Table I shows the distribution of cases and controls for reference age, several demographic factors and ittdicators of socioecorvomic level for never-smokers- By design, cases and controls for the complete data were balanced on the matchingfactors; however, among neversmokers. there was a smaller proportion of older female cases. This difference was primarily due to the selection of controls from the 1990 census list based on their ages in 1995. However, because the mid-point of control enrollment was 1997, the mean age at interview for controls was slightly higher than anticipated. Results also indicate that cases were more likely to have a posoprimary education, have a rolor television or refrig- eralor, and own fewer large animals. While these variables were significantly related to case status, they did not confound the relationship berween lung tancerand ET5-related variables. None- theless, in the remaining analyses, we adjusted for socioeconomic level, which was best characterized by two variables- ownership of a color television and number of cattle, as well as age, sex and prefecture. Table H shows ORs for ever<xposed to Sfs in the household and for categories of amount of exposure, as nreasnred by eigarette pack-years smoked by cohabitants. Oversll- them was a non- significant OR of 1.19 for ever-exposed to ETS, but a significant monotonically increasing trend in ORs with pack-years of expo- surc (test for trend, p=0.05). When exposure was categorized by period of exposure, there was a statistically significant OR of 1.52 with 95% CT (1.1.2.2) for ever-exposed to ETS in childhood and increasing ORs with pack-years of exposure Ip=0.02). 77rere was tso effect on risk of Et5 exposure orcurring in adulthood. Based on a log-linear model for age, sex, prefectum, number of cattle. ownership of a color television and pack-years of exposure in childhood and in adulthood, ORs were 1.53 with 95% CI (1.1,2.1) and 1.02 with 95% CI (0.9.1.2) for each 10 pack-years of ETS exposure in childhood and in adulthood, respectively. The p-value for the test of homogeneity of the two trends was 0.02. The questionnaire also provided information on whether household cohabitants smoked in the pmsence of the subject. Adjustment for smoking in the presence of the subject did not affect the ORs in Table 11 . Table II also shou•, that ORs were similar for males and fe- males_ None of the statistical tests of homogeneity of ORS by sex were rejected- The two prefeaures were predominantly rural with 32.8% of ncver-smoking males and 8.5% of never-smoking females ever employed in non-farrn jobs for more than I-vear.

Cancer 88:139-145, 2000. Published 2000 Wilev-L:ss. /nn r Epidemiotogic studies of lung cancer and exposure to environ- menWl tobacco smoke (ETS) have been conducted in countries throughout the world and consistently show a 12 to 1-5-fold risk of lung cancer (National Research Council. 1986: California En- vironmental Protection Agency. 1997). Studies of ETS exposure in (]tina however are of particular interest, due to the high lung cancer rate in females who are mostly non-smokers (Gao er at., 1987: Xu er al„ 1989; Wu-Williarns cr al., 1990: Blot and Frau- meni, 1996) and due to the relatively low odds ratios (OR) of lung cancer among acGve smokers, where ORs for ever-smokers corn- pared with never-smokers consistently range from 2 m 4(Liu, 1992; Liu et al.. 19981• markedly lower than in westem countries (U. S. Departarcnt of Heallh and Human Servirxs, 1990). The rates of lung cancer for females in China are high, although nm uni- fortnly so across the country, and may be due to indoor air pollutants, diet, cooking oil fumes, occupational facrors and non- malignant respiratory diseases, as well as ETS (Blot aod Fraumeni. 1996). while the lower overall ORs for active smoking among Chinese adults may be attributable to later age at smoking initia- tion (Yang rr al., 1999), relatively shoner duration of smoking, less imerrse inhalation practices or the greater proponion of pipe. as compared with cigarette, smokers (Liu, 1992: Lubin er al., 1992). Nonetheless. ORs of 20-foid have been reported in those smoking 20 cigarenes per day or morc (Xu et a(., 1989). suggesl- ing that Chinese smokers are not ae an inherently lower risk of lung canccr. Results from studies of residential ETS exposure in China have been mixed (Chan and Fung. 1982: Lam, 1985, 1987: Gao er a/., 1987; Koo et aL, 1987; Geng er al.. 1988: Wu-Williams ef al., 1990; Liu er al.. 1991; 1993; Wang er af., 1994; 1996; Du n al.. 1996; Ko er al.. 1997: ZAong er al., 1999). However, several of the individual studies did not adjust for potentially important cofac- tors, such as indoor afr pollution and occupational exposures. Several outstanding issues concerning ETS exposure and risk of lung cancer remain. Few previuus studies have evaluated factors that modify the OR for ETS exposure. Few studies have evaluated differences in risk from ETS exposure in childhood, as compared with adulthood (Gao er al.. 1987: Janerich et af., 1990; Wang et al., 1994; Zhong er al.. 1999)- One study found a greater risk from childhood E7S exposure than from ETS exposure in adulthood (Wang er al.. 1994). two studies found no difference in risk (Gao et af., 1987; Zhong er al.. 1999) and one found an excess risk from E'IS exposure only in childhood (Janerich et ar_ 1990)- In addi- lion, while there have been studies of lung cancer risk and aclive smoking among Chinese men, the majority of whnmsmoke (Gao cr al., 1988; Qiao er al., )989: Liu er al., 1991: Lubin et al.. 1992t Yao et al., 1994: Do re nL 1996: Yu and Zltao. 1996; Xu et aL, 1996; Lei et al., 1996: Qiao er al.. 1997). there have been appar- ently no smdies of ETS exposure among the few Chinese men who never smoked. To address queslion.s associated with lung cancer and E7S exposure, we analyzed data from a population-based case<onaol study of lung cancer in 2. primarily rural, prefecwres in Gansu Province in north-westem China, These areas are unique because more than half of the population currently live or have lived for an extended period in underground dwellings, where indoor levels of radioactive radon gas are among the highest in the world (Wang er af., 1996). In most rcsidences- brick stoves are used for heating and for cooking, with smoke and fumes vented via enclosed ducts through a bed-like brick platform used for sleeping (call a kang) to the outside. Coal. wood, sticks or other biomass were the principal sources of fuel. MAlPJt/AL AND METHODS Study subjects Beginning in June 1995. we idenli6ed aJl individuals between the ages of 30 and 75 years who were newly diagnosed with lung cancer between January 1994 and April 1998, and were residents of Pingliang or Qingyang. 2 prefectures in Gansv Province. China, with a total adult population of about 4 X 30A persons. Cases were identified from 2 prefecture hospitals, a company hospita) located at a nearby oilficld, 15 county hospitals and local clinics. We also reviewed records from special anti-wberculosis reporting stations in the prefecmres. In addition, hospital records in larger nearby cities, Lanzhou.

144 W nNG Er AL. ETS exposures in adulthood. Risk patterns with tobacco use among active smokers are consistent with tobacco smoke being a complete lung rardnogen. serving both as a initiator and promoter (Brown and Chu. 1987; Darby and Pike, 1988: Moulgavkar er aJ., 1989). The identification of ETS exposure as an initiator. particularly with expo- sures occurring in childhood, would markedly affect estimates of lifetinre lung cancer risk from E7S expcisurc. ORs for EfS exposure in otu study varied sigttificandy by period of uposure, with ORs significantly increased with childhood ETS exposure. This result is at odds with the oonclusians of Brown and Chtr (1987) and Darby and Pike (Darby and Pike, 1988), who fitted the Amutage-Doll multistage model for rarcinogcnecis to smokers and suggested that a low level of tobacco smoke expostue acts as a late stage carcinogen, with duration of exposure having a relatively lesser effsct on risk. Howevcr, this conclusion was disputed by Moolgavkar er a1. (1989) and W hinemore (1988). who suggested that data were too limited for such specific conclusions. Of the three previous China studies that reponed results by period of exposure, I study fnund a grrater effect of ETS expostue in childhood (Wang er al.- 1994), while 2 studies found no overall effect of ETS exposure and in particular no difference between ORs for exposures in childhood and adulthood (Gao er al.. 1987; Z7mng er al., 1999) (Table M. Studies in western counoies have similarly shown mixed results (see Table 7.6 in California Environmental Protection Agency, 1997; Boffena er af., 1998; Janerich er aL. 1990). The inconsislcncy observed to date may be due to the difficulty in recalling details of ETS exposures many years in the past artd the relatively small expected effeet Thus, based on published results to date, no definitive conclusions about the relative importance of Fl'$ exposures in childhood and in adulthood are possible. Owing to the historically higher proportion of smoking males. there is a greater number of males than females diagnosed each year with lung cancer (Boring er al., 1994: Travis er al., 1996). While evidence is not conclusive, studies of active smokers have suggested that ORs for lung cancer from exposure to tobacco smoke may be at least as great, if not greater, in females than males, after adjusting (or smoking duration and rate (Lubin and BIoL 1984; Brownson er al., 1992; Riseh er af., 1993; Zang and Wynder, 1996), suggesting females may have a greater sensitivity to tobacco smoke. Most studies of ETS exposure have been carried out in never-smoking females; however, the few studies of ETS exposure that reported ORs separately for never-smoking females and males found no marked differences of ORs in females and males (Kabat and Wynder, 1984; Kabat er al., 1995; Boffetta er aL. 1998), although investigators did nol appear to have conducted formal statistical hypothesis tests. Our study had limited dara on males, but the magnitude of dx ORs and non-significant tests of homogeneity suggested that females were at comparable risk of lung cancer from ET5 exposure. A strength of our population-based study was its locarion in a predominantly rural, non-industrial area of China. Fewer than one third of males and one tenth of females were ever employed in non-farm related jobs. In addition, few of those who did worked off the tarm reporteR any exposure to a list of potential lung carcinogens. ORs for ETS exposure were unchanged when data were restricted to subjects who never worked off the farm. A potential confounding factor in our evaluation of ETS was the level of indoor air pollution, since virtually all subjects Mmted coal. wo9d or sticks in a stove or Anng for cooking and heating. A detailed evaluation of indoor air pollution in 25 houses in the study areat revealed high levels of particle bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), particulate tnaner smaller than 10 µm (PM- 10), CO, NO' and SO_ (Ligman er al„ 1997). Ventilation rates were high, with an average of 1.5 air changes per hr, resulting in levels of indoor air pollutants that were episodic and followed closely the use of indoor stoves. Pollutant levels were low during non<ooking times. Except for CO and PM-10, mean values for integratcd measurements were below U.S. Ambient Air Quality Standards. We did not have measurement data on indoor air pollutants in each house, but in our analysis, OR patterns for ETS exposure were unchanged when adjustment was made for housing type (underground or above-ground dwelling), amount and type of fuel used and the degree of indoor smokiness as reported by the respondent. Values for these potential confounding variables were determined for the current house, the longest lived-in house and for houses in adulthood and in childhood. We relied on next-of-kin interviews when the case patient was deceased or too ill. Next-of-kin, particularly spouses, may be less knowledgeable about events and exposures occurting in childhood, thus raising the possibility that results may have been affected by differential nusclassificalion of ETS exposure, While non-differ- enlial misclassification of an exposure variable most often, al- though not always, results in ORs closer to the null value (Dose- meci er aL, 1990). consequences cannot be predicted if misclassification is differential. In our study, ORs were larger for ETS exposure in childhood than in adulthood. These OR patterns could have been influenced by differential misclassification if subjects or nexo-of-kin of cases were more likely to report ETS exposure than controls. However. this differential recall would had to have differed for exposures in adulthood and in childhood. which seems unlikely. In addition, OR panems for ETS exposure were similar when data were restricted to subject respondents only. In summary, we found an overall increasing risk of lung rancer with pack-years of exposure to 6TS. This increasing risk with greater ETS exposure was primarily due to exposures occurring in childhood. A CK VOU,rtEy('E.IENTS We thank Ms. M. Pacious and Ms. R.
