Why
4,685 individuals aged>18 years, from a private health care plan diagnosed with cancer who answered an epidemiological survey (self-referenced morbidity)
To evaluate the possible association between risk factors (smoking, sedentarism, alcohol comsumption, excessive sun exposion, overweight and obesity) for cancer and the occurrence of the disease in beneficiaries of a health plan followed by 10 years after the epidemiological profile.

To evaluate modifiable risk factors to neoplasms
Observational case-control study involving 4,685 individuals diagnosed with cancer. For each case, three controls (same age and sex), who used medical and hospital services for non-oncological reasons (14,055 individuals) were selected

The epidemiological profile of the beneficiaries from a healthcare plan can provide informations that contributes to Oncologic management, as well as to the elaboration of campaigns for decrease risk factors exposure and neoplasm prevention and screening’s programs in this group. In this study we observed possible variables that could be risk factors related to some types of cancer with higher prevalence and diagnostic in the population.
CONCLUSION
OBJECTIVES
REFERENCES
Observational case-control study involving 4,685 individuals diagnosed with cancer (Table 1). For each case, we selected three controls (same age and sex), who used medical and hospital services for non-oncological reasons (14,055 individu-als). Statistical analysis used OpenEpi version 3.01 software, by calculating the relative and absolute frequencies, means and standard deviation. For analytical statistics, Chi-square tests (Mantel-Haenszel and Fisher's Exact), when p <0.001.

Statistically significant tobacco smoking (Table 4) association with lung cancer (p <0.001, OR 2.248), larynx (p <0.001, OR 3.929) and esophagus (p <0.001, OR 4.876) were found. Regarding obesity (Table 5), the only statistically significant association observed was with ovarian cancer (p = 0.042; OR 2.170). Alcohol consumption (Table 6) was associated with female breast cancer (p = 0.016, OR 1.859). No association between sedentary behavior and evaluated types of cancer were found.
