Finding F-1627

“Individuals residing in high radon exposure areas (Atlas Class 6) had a greater than two-fold lung cancer risk (adjusted OR: 2.24, 95% CI: 1.25, 3.92) compared to residents in all other areas.”

Structure

Factor: Radon
Outcome: Lung cancer
Study design: population-based study linking an indicative radon atlas to lung cancer: participants assigned an atlas class by postcode, with logistic regression adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, deprivation and fine particles (class 4)
Effect: OR 2.24 (1.25–3.92)
Caveat: the exposure is the atlas class of the postcode (the highest band is Atlas Class 6), not a radon concentration measured in the participant's own home; the model is adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, deprivation and fine particles
