Abstract: The case-control study was conducted in Belgrade (Yugoslavia) during the period
1994-1998. The objective of the study was to investigate factors related to the
occurrence of multiple myeloma (MM). The study group consisted of 100 newly
diagnosed MM patients and the same number of matched hospital controls. In the
analysis conditional univariate and multivariate logistic regression were
applied. According to multivariate analysis the following factors were
significantly related to MM: smoking > or =25 cigarettes per day (Odds
ratio--OR=6.7, 95% confidence interval--95% CI=1.3-34.3); having more than two
brothers (OR=2.7, 95% CI=1.3-5.3), rheumatoid arthritis in personal history
(OR=4.2, 95% CI=1.2-14.8), and frequent (4-7 times per week vs. lower frequency)
consumption of yogurt (OR=3.1, 95% CI=1.6-6.0) and vegetables (OR=0.4, 95%
CI=0.1-1.0).
