Table 3. Adjusteda incidence rate ratios for primary brain tumour in association with a 100 Bq/m3 increase in domestic radonb within strata of NOx at the residential address.
Potential effect modifier | Cases, n | IRR (95% CI) | Pc |
NOx at front door (µg/m3)d | |||
<21.6 | 58 | 2.53 (1.06–6.04) | 0.15 |
≥21.6 | 63 | 0.98 (0.39–2.50) |
We adjusted the analyses for age (underlying time scale), sex, employment in the chemical industry for at least one year and consumption of fruit and vegetables.
Radon exposure was entered as a continuous variable in all models as the time-weighted average concentration at residences from 1. January 1971 until censoring.with inclusion of a 10 year latency period.
Test of the null hypothesis that the linear trends are identical, for Wald test for interaction.
Time-weighted average concentration for NOx.
