A colorectal cancer diet quality index is inversely associated with colorectal cancer in the Malmö Diet and Cancer study
European Journal of Cancer Prevention Oct 12, 2019
Vulcan A, et al. - Using the Malmö Diet and Cancer study cohort, researchers evaluated the link between an a priori constructed dietary index and incident colorectal cancer (CRC). They also investigated the link between the consumption of processed meat, fiber, and dairy products and CRC. Over a follow-up of 502,136 person-years, 923 cases of CRC were detected. They developed a Colorectal Diet Quality Index (CDQI) concerning consumptions of processed meat, fiber, and dairy products in relation to CRC. A higher dietary quality was suggested by a higher index. Lower risk of CRC was observed in relation to a higher CDQI. They found that consumption of dairy products as well as dietary fiber was inversely related to CRC risk. They also noted a link between high consumption of processed meat and CRC. In this study, CRC risk was observed in inverse correlation with high adherence to a predefined CRC-specific diet quality index, which provided a stronger link with CRC, compared with when analyzing the components of the CDQI individually.
