title: [The use of stratification and logistic regression model in the data analysis of case-control studies].
abstract: Data of a case-control study of esophageal cancer were used as an example of the use of multivariate analysis with stratification and logistic regression. Eighty-five cases and 292 controls were classified according to sex, age and smoking and drinking habits.
