Article Synopsis
- A case-control study in the Kashmir valley explored the relationship between low socioeconomic status (SES) and the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) among 703 confirmed cases and 1664 matched controls from 2008 to 2012.
- Results indicated that higher education, better housing, use of cleaner cooking fuels, and greater wealth were linked to a lower risk of ESCC, while strenuous physical activity increased risk.
- Although individuals in government or business jobs showed lower ESCC risk compared to farmers, this association was not significant after adjusting for other factors, highlighting the need for further research on how SES influences ESCC risk in this region.
