The relationship between the incidence of emphysema and smoking history, age, sex, and percentage bronchial mucous gland volume is investigated using the series of necropsy cases reported by Ryder, Dunnill, and Anderson (1971). Using those cases originating from hospital, it is shown that the incidence of emphysema is dependent on smoking history, age, and sex. Percentage bronchial mucous gland volume is not related to emphysema when the three other variables have been allowed for. Thus sex has an effect on the incidence of emphysema over and above the difference between the sexes in the occurrence of smoking. It is also shown that it is reasonable to extrapolate these conclusions from hospital necropsy cases to the general population.
利用莱德、邓尼尔和安德森(1971年)报告的一系列尸检病例,研究了肺气肿发病率与吸烟史、年龄、性别以及支气管粘液腺体积百分比之间的关系。通过对那些来自医院的病例研究表明,肺气肿的发病率取决于吸烟史、年龄和性别。在考虑了其他三个变量后,支气管粘液腺体积百分比与肺气肿无关。因此,除了吸烟发生率上的性别差异之外,性别对肺气肿发病率也有影响。研究还表明,将这些结论从医院尸检病例外推至普通人群是合理的。
