Kabat, G .C ., "Epidemiologic Studies of the Relationship Between<br />

Passive Smoking and Lung Cancer," ToxicolocTV Forum, 1990 Annual<br />

Winter Meeting (transcript) : 187-199, 1990 .<br />

In 1990, Kabat reported preliminary results from an<br />

American Health Foundation case-control study, which then included<br />

90 cases and 247 controls . Kabat reported that "preliminary<br />

analyses of the data do not indicate any striking ETS <strong>exposure</strong><br />

differences between cases and controls ." Specifically, he reported<br />

odds ratios for men of 0 .98 (95% CI 0 .46-2 .10) and for women of<br />

1 .00 (0 .49-2 .06), for reported workplace <strong>exposure</strong> . The risk<br />

estimate for males is negative, and that for females is the same as<br />

the baseline, "no-risk" level .<br />
