Description
Summary:The main aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors of Colorectal cancer in Lahore by using the Logistic model. It was aCross-sectional case control study. For this study, the information was collected from three public hospitals of Lahore including ANMOL, General Hospital and Shaikh Zayed. The required information consisting of 124 female subjects including 62 cases and 62 controls was obtained from January 2011 to May 2012. The factors were studied descriptively and analytically. By using the Logistic Regression model, Odds Ratios and 95% confidence intervals were obtained. Five factors including age, residential area, lifestyle, constipation, and fruit were found to be significant. The Odds Ratios and 95% confidence intervals of these factors were [1.107, 1.051-1.167], [3.541, 1.040-12.052], [0.136, 0.037-0.499], [10.669, 3.031-67.553], and [0.169, 0.051-0.559], respectively. The constipation was observed to be the major risk factor of Colorectal cancer in females.
