  1. The table shows the influence on sex, age and exposure to tobacco smoking, and formaldehyde to the odds ratios for having a K-ras mutation. Information on exposures was based on interview and registry data. Information on smoking and exposure to formaldehyde could only be obtained from interviewed persons, which explains the number of persons with unknown status. 1 Unadjusted odds ratio, 2 Mutually adjusted odds ratio.
