Lung Cancer Jan 17, 2019
Nieuwenhuis L, et al. - In 1986, researchers examined the dietary and lifestyle habits of 120,852 candidates of age 55–69 years to assess the correlation of total nut, tree nut, peanut, and peanut butter intake with the risk of lung cancer and its subtypes in the Netherlands Cohort Study. A sum of 3720 subcohort members and 2861 lung cancer cases were involved in this multivariable case-cohort analyses after 20.3 years of follow-up. A significant inverse relation with total nut consumption was noted in males after controlling for smoking habits for 10+ g/day vs nonconsumers (0.62) for small cell carcinoma. They observed no correlation of nut intake with the risk of lung cancer subtypes in females whereas no association was found for peanut butter in both sexes.
