Dietary vitamin a and human lung cancer
Abstract
Five‐year follow‐up results for 8,278 men who in mail surveys had reported their cigarette smoking and dietary habits showed: (1) an index for vitamin A intake to be negatively associated with lung cancer incidence at all levels of cigarette smoking; (2) this association to be more clearly expressed in the subset of histologically proven pulmonary carcinomas other than adenocarcinoma; and (3) the positive association between cigarette smoking and lung cancer to obtain irrespective of the dietary level of vitamin A or related factors. The findings are in accordance with experimental results on animals and call for further exploration of the role of nutritional factors in the development of human lung cancer.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
