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.

of this meta-analyais however is problematic, since severxl studies

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-

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

ETS exposure of under 20 years and 20 years or more relative to
o0 occupational exposure were 1.29 (0.5,3.3) and 1.76 (0.5.5.6),
respectively, with p=0.19 for the test of trend with duration. When
daa were restricted to the 52 cases and 57 rontrols who ever
worked in non-farm jobs, the OR for occupational Ef5 exposure
was 1.35 with 959s Cl (0.5.3.4).
We evaluated variation in the ORs with pack-years of ETS
exposure in childhood and in adulthood within categories of sev-
enl variables, including reference age, educational level. marital
status, income and a variety of socioeconomic factors. None of the
tests of homogeneity of trends in ORs across categories were
rejected We also evaluated potential confounding from factors
related to indoor air pollution. by computing ORs for paci:-years of
ETS exposure by underground or above-ground type of current
and longest lived-in dwelling, time weighted mean radon concen-
traoion in all dwellings occupied for 2 years or more 5-30 prior to
the reference age. type of fuel used for heating and cooking in the
currenl home and the subjeci s perceived level of indoor smoki-
ness in winter months in the currcnt (rouse (Table III)- Adjustment
for these factors, as well as annual amount of coal used- and the
degree of indoor smokiness in houses occupied as children (not
shown). had little effecr on ORs for pack-years of ETS exposure.
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

Health, reviewed all case diagnoscs The expen panel excluded
277 subjects due to (he absence of supporting evidence or to

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

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

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. Xian and Yinchuan, were reviewed for lung
cancer patienLs diagnosed in residents of the two prefectures.
Based on clinicallradiological symptoms suggestive of lung
cancer or pathological evidence, a total of 1,209 possible cases
were identified. An expen panel of pathologists, radiologists and

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.
