Coffee and tea consumption and risk of prostate cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition
International Journal of Cancer Nov 22, 2018
Sen A, et al. - In the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, researchers assessed the associations of coffee (total, caffeinated, and decaffeinated) and tea intake with prostate cancer risk among 142,196 men who were followed up over a 14-year period. During this time, a total of 7,036 incident prostate cancer cases were diagnosed. Using validated country-specific food questionnaires at baseline, the investigators obtained data on coffee and tea consumption. They used models that were stratified by center and age, and adjusted for anthropometric, lifestyle and dietary factors. The median quantities of coffee and tea consumed were 375 mL/day and 106 mL/day, respectively; however, there were large variations by country. Overall, consumption of total, caffeinated, or decaffeinated coffee or tea was not found to be associated with the risk of total prostate cancer or cancer by stage, grade, or fatality.
