Abstract:

Objective  To analyze the relationship between exposures and intracranial tumors.  Methods  A hospital-based case-control study including 264 cases of intracranial tumors and 273 controls was carried out and logistic regression model was used to explore the potential risk factors of intracranial tumors. Results  According to  univariate and multivariate logistic regression models,  passive smoking from spouse and colleagues, occupational touching gasoline or diesel fuel, and using an insecticide usually increased the risk of intracranial tumors, while alcohol consumption and beer alcohol consumption less than 9mL/d  decreased the risk. The OR and 95% CI of these factors were 1.777(1.103,2.861),1.911(1.095,3.334),4.298(1.008,18.314),1.728(1.000,3.049), 0.297(0.108,0.821) and 0.216(0.046,1.024). Conclusion  Risk factors of intracranial tumors are passive smoking from spouse and colleague,  touching gasoline, diesel fuel and insecticides, and protective factors are alcohol consumption and beer alcohol consumption less than 9mL/d.
