Determining the Risk Factors Causing Cancer with Logistic Regression Analysis
Abstract
The number of cancer patients is gradually increasing, and the main cause of this disease is believed widely to be genetic. However, the mere cause of this disease is not genetic. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of such factors as individuals’ demographic backgrounds, their dietary habits and their environments and living conditions on the risk of getting cancer. For this purpose, a questionnaire made up of Likert-type questions was developed to determine individuals’ dietary habits and their environments and living conditions. The questionnaire was applied to a research sample of 1000 individuals selected among healthy individuals and those diagnosed as cancer. For the analysis of the data collected, binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the effects of the variables in question on cancer.
