The use of logistic regression for modelling risk factors: with application to non-melanoma skin cancer.

Abstract:

:Logistic regression was used to estimate the "relative" risk of basal and squamous skin cancer for such factors as cumulative lifetime solar exposure, age, complexion, and tannability. In previous reports, a subject's exposure was estimated indirectly, by latitude, or by the number of sun days in a subject's habitat. In contrast, these results are based on interview data gathered for each subject. A relatively new technique was used to estimate "relative" risk by controlling for confounding and testing for effect modification. A linear effect for the "relative" risk of cancer versus exposure was found. Tannability was shown to be a more important risk factor than complexion. This result is consistent with the work of Silverstone and Searle.
