| Collection Summary: | This case-control study was nested in a prospective Shanghai Women’s Health Study (December 28, 1996 - May 23, 2000), which has been previously described [17, 18]. Briefly, the SWHS is a population-based prospective cohort study in Shanghai, China where 74,942 women aged 40-70 years were recruited by a trained interviewer and a community health worker. The women were followed through multiple in-person interviews and self-administered questionnaires to obtain information on demographics, occupational and environmental exposures, lifestyle, dietary, and other factors, including environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and body mass index (BMI). The participation rate was 92.7%. Cohort members are followed for cancer diagnosis through in-person follow-up surveys administered every 2–3 years and annual record linkage with the Shanghai Cancer Registry and Vital Statistics Unit. All incident lung cancer cases were eligible for the current study. All study participants provided written informed consent before being interviewed, and the study protocols were approved by the institutional review boards of all participating institutions. |
