The risk of malignancy was estimated by calculating crude OR and OR adjusted for age, sex, smoking status and alcohol habit using a logistic regression model in autopsy cases (n = 1551).
Significant associations highlighted in bold. OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval.
aCases with epithelial malignancy were compared with control.
bCases with non-epithelial malignancy were compared with control.
cCases with no malignancy (n = 591).
dCalculated for cases for whom smoking and drinking history was available (n = 1371).
eApplied by including the number of T-alleles (0,1,2) as a continuous variable in the logistic regression model.
