Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for the development of a life habit improvement program, designed to prevent occurrence of lung cancer for adults, by comparing various factors related to cancer outbreak.
METHODS
The study was designed to be a retrospective comparison survey study of the lung cancer patient group and healthy adult group. 91 lung cancer patients visited J university hospital and 105 conveniently-selected healthy adults were recruited from October 2011 to August 2012. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi2-test/t-test and logistic regression with the SPSS program.
RESULTS
Active smoking, secondhand smoking and frequency of meat consumption emerged as risk factors of lung cancer occurrence for adults.
CONCLUSION
As a result of comparative analysis of lung cancer patients and healthy adults' various lifestyle-related cancer risk factors, non-smoking, avoiding secondhand smoke and reducing meat consumption were suggested as a means of preventing the occurrence of lung cancer.
