在职业健康流行病学中，吸烟和酗酒等一般危险因素对癌症和其他疾病的混杂影响似乎相当有限。然而，尽可能控制这些风险因素是可取的，但大约两个或更多的风险比很少用暗示不受控制的混杂来解释。然而，各种一般风险因素可能会改变工业接触的影响，这一现象有时往往会混淆暴露与结果之间的病因关系的讨论。
In occupational health epidemiology, the confounding effects of general risk factors such as smoking and alcohol abuse with regard to cancer and other disorders seem to be rather limited. It is desirable to control such risk factors whenever possible, however, but risk ratios of about two or more can rarely be explained by suggesting uncontrolled confounding. However, various general risk factors might modify the effect of an industrial exposure, a phenomenon that sometimes tends to confuse the discussion of etiologic relationships between exposure and outcome.
