A study in Sept. 15 issue of Am. J. Epidemiol. concludes that "these data do not support the hypothesis that electric blanket use increases breast cancer risk among women under age 55 years." This was a case-control study (2,199 case patients under age 55 years and 2,009 controls). Adjusted odds ratio = 1.01, 95% confidence interval 0.86-1.18).
