A hospital case-control study was initiated to investigate stomach cancer-related variables in sonic Koreans Novemher 19~Xi to December 1998. "hhc cases were selected from inpatients admitted to department of general surged´ of Dongsaii Hospital, Kcinryung University to have gastrectomy for the first time and to whom controls were individually matched from the same hospital. The face-to-face interview was aclntinistcred by one Lnmied interviewer before patients underwent surgery. Chrc hundred sixty seven cases and 324 controls were analyzed in the final analysis. After univariate conditional logistic regression, multiple conditional logistic regression with backward elimination started with variables having P less than 020. The variables increasing the risk: were number of siblings, onion, excessive salt or soybean sauce use, and past history of gastritis or peptic ulcer. However, consumption of fresh fruits, grecii onion and garlic, and all kinds of stew, and years since last gastric endoscopy appeared to clecrcase the risk. Drinking, all kinds of vegetables, tofu, duration of refrigerator use and frequency of UGI were marginally statistically significant. These results suggested that stomach cancer-related variables in Korea arc consistent with other studies, however onion, all kinds of stew, and variables related with screening behaviors merit further studies.
