This file contains 978 records with continous data from the Ille-et-Vilaine study of esophageal cancer and alcohol/tobacco consumption. See Breslow and Day (1980) Appendix I for grouped data from this study. The records are coded as follows: Cols Var Range/Description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 2 Case 0 = Control 1 = Case 3- 5 Age Age at diagnosis 6- 7 Age 1 = 25 - 34 years Group 2 = 35 - 44 3 = 45 - 54 4 = 55 - 64 5 = 65 - 74 6 = 75+ 8- 9 Tobacco 0 = None Group 1 = 1- 4 grams per day 2 = 5- 9 3 = 10-14 4 = 15-19 5 = 20-29 6 = 30-39 7 = 40-49 8 = 50+ 9 = Unknown amount (treated as unknown) 10-17 Tobacco 0, 2.5, 7.5, 12.5, 15, 25, 35, 45, and Amount 60 grams per day corresponding to above groups (99 = unknown amount) 18-25 Log(tob+1) Transform of above variable; 99 = unknown 26-29 Beer Beer in grams per day 30-33 Wine Wine in grams per day 34-37 Cider Cider in grams per day 38-41 Aperitif Aperitif in grams per day 42-45 Digestive Digestive in grams per day 46-49 Total Total alcohol in grams per day Alcohol 50-57 Log(alc+1) Transform of above variable ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: 1) The three controls with unknown tobacco amount or age under 25 were deleted for the Chapter 6 analyses. 2) The grouped data in Appendix I do not agree exactly with these continuous data as regards the alcohol and tobacco groups, due to a programming error made in the 1970's.
