The authors investigated familial aggregation of lung cancer by means of a population-based case-control study, conducted in Germany between 1988 and 1993. They compared lung cancer prevalence in first degree relatives of 945 patients and 983 controls, accounting for various potential risk factors using logistic regression and generalized estimating equations. Some 83 % of the study participants were male, and about 14 % were below age 51 (young age group). Overall, lung cancer in parents or siblings was associated with a 1.67-fold (95 % confidence interval (CI): 1.11, 2.52) increase in lung cancer risk. For the young participants, this risk was 4.75 (95 % CI: 1.20, 18.77). Having multiple affected relatives (two or more) was related to a t...
