Abstract:
A matched case control study was conducted in order to assess possible relationships between some habits and risk of bladder cancer. The study included 130 newly diagnosed bladder cancer patients and the same number of controls matched with respect to sex, age (+/- 2 years) and type of residence (rural-urban). According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, risk factors of bladder cancer were smoking habits (OR = 3.15), consumption of animal fats (RR = 2.10) and pickled food (RR = 21.28). Higher level of educational (RR = 0.51), frequent urination (RR = 0.21), consumption of greens (RR = 0.10), cherry (RR = 0.03) and tangerines (RR = 0.02) had a protective effect.
