I am sorry I have seen the problem just now.
Could you please let me know the formula WHO 2.2a which you referred in your message.
In order to calculate the sample size for case control studies standard formula uses power (we call it beta) among other things. Kindly send me all the information you have so that I can comment on the sample size.
By the way your calculated value of OR=0.49 means exposure may be negatively associated with disease (less risk among the exposed).

aoa, i have noted that 380 is a reasonable, maximum sample size with 5% of margin of error with 95% confidence, if im right why not to take this as common sample size?
