Radon exposure and lung cancer: risk in nonsmokers among cohort studies

Table 11 Adjusted incidence rate ratios for lung cancer in association with a 100 Bq/m³ increase in domestic radon within strata of sex, NOx at the residential address, and ETS [14]

Interaction variable	Cases, n	Nonsmokers IRR (95 % CI)	P
Sex
Men	46	1.35 (0.44–4.11)	0.52
Women	53	2.02 (0.70–5.76)
NOx at front (ug/m³)
< 21.8	48	1.80 (0.60–5.42)	0.92

Yes	65	1.99 (0.74–5.33)

Adjusted for age, sex, BMI, length of school attendance, socio-economic status, environmental tobacco smoke, fruit intake, alcohol, residence type, employment in an industry or job associated with higher risk for lung cancer, and traffic (time weighted average NOx exposure)
