“…Furthermore, the results of an American study suggest that a high supply of folic acid is associated with a decreased risk of female breast cancer [25]. This corresponds to Chinese observations according to which a frequent consumption of fruits and vegetables [26], and fermented dairy products [19], also being rich in folic acid, plays a role in the dietary prevention of female breast cancer. Noticeably, milk and its products are also characterized by low GI.…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the consumption frequency of dairy products depending on selected individual traits (level of self-efficacy, optimism, and satisfaction with life) in a group of perimenopausal women. The study, using the questionnaire for the assessment of food product consumption frequency, and psychological tests (GSES, LOT-R, SWLS), was conducted in a group of 320 women aged between 45 and 55. The Spearman's coefficients of rank correlation and the Kruskal-Wallis test with the Dunn test for multiple comparisons were used for statistical analysis (p < 0.05). Statistical analysis revealed that the level of self-efficacy correlated positively with the consumption frequency of low-fat cottage cheese, kefir (p < 0.05), buttermilk and natural yoghurt (p < 0.01), and was inversely correlated with the consumption of high-fat milk and high-fat cottage cheese (p < 0.01). The level of optimism showed a positive correlation with the frequency of kefir and fruit yoghurt consumption (p < 0.05), and was inversely correlated with the consumption of high-and low-fat milk (p < 0.05) and high-fat cottage cheese (p < 0.01). An increased level of satisfaction with life was associated with a more frequent consumption of kefir (p < 0.05) and fruit yoghurt (p < 0.01), and with a lower consumption of high-and low-fat milk (p < 0.05) and high-fat cottage cheese (p < 0.01). The level of self-efficacy significantly influenced mean consumption frequency of high-(p < 0.0001) and low-fat milk (p < 0.05), high-fat cottage cheese, buttermilk, and natural (p < 0.0001) and fruit yoghurt (p < 0.01), and the levels of optimism and satisfaction with life exerted a significant effect on the frequency of consumption of high-fat milk, high-fat cottage cheese, and fruit yoghurt (p < 0.01). Overall, our study showed that the frequency of dairy product consumption among 45-55-year-old women is low and varies depending on the analyzed individual traits.Key words: women, menopause, dietary pattern, milk products, psychological features. StreszczenieCelem badań była ocena częstości konsumpcji produktów mlecznych w zależności od niektórych cech indywidualnych (poziomu skuteczności, optymizmu i satysfakcji życiowej) w grupie kobiet w wieku okołomenopauzalnym. Badaniami, z wykorzystaniem kwestionariusza częstości spożycia produktów oraz testów psychologicznych (GSES, LOT-R, SWLS), objęto 320 kobiet w wieku 45-55 lat. W analizie statystycznej zastosowano korelacje rang Spearmana oraz testy Kruskala-Wallisa i Dunna (p < 0,05).W analizie statystycznej poziom skuteczności wykazywał dodatnią korelację ze spożyciem twarogu półtłustego i kefiru (p < 0,05) oraz maślanki i jogurtu naturalnego (p < 0,01), a ujemną ze spożyciem tłustego mleka i tłustego twarogu (p < 0,01). Poziom optymizmu był dodatnio skorelowany z częstością spożycia kefiru i jogurtu owocowego (p < 0,05), a ujemnie ze spożyciem mleka tłustego i półtłustego (p < 0,05) oraz twarogu tłustego (p < 0,01). Ze wzrostem poziomu satysfakcji życiowej zwiększało się spożycie kefiru (...

Objective: Conflicting results on the association between fruit consumption and cancer risk have been reported. Little is known about the cancer preventive effects of different fruit types. The present meta-analysis investigates whether an association exists between apple intake and cancer risk. Design: Relevant observational studies were identified by literature search (PubMed, Web of Science and Embase). A random-effect model was used to estimate the cancer risk in different anatomical sites. Between-study heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed using adequate statistical tests. Results: Twenty case-control (three on lung, five on colorectal, five on breast, two on oesophageal, three on oral cavity, two on prostate and one each on pancreas, bladder, larynx, ovary, kidney and brain cancer) and twenty-one cohort (seven on lung, two on colorectal, three on breast and one each on oesophageal, pancreas, bladder, kidney, endometrial, head-neck, urothelial and stomach cancer) studies met the inclusion criteria. Comparing the highest v. lowest level of apple consumption, the reduction of lung cancer risk was statistically highly significant in both case-control (OR = 0·75; 95 % CI 0·63, 0·88; P = 0·001, I 2 = 0 %) and cohort studies (relative risk = 0·89; 95 % CI 0·84, 0·94; P < 0·001, I 2 = 53 %). Instead, in the case of colorectal (OR = 0·66; 95 % CI 0·54, 0·81; P < 0·001, I 2 = 55 %), breast (OR = 0·79; 95 % CI 0·73, 0·87; P < 0·001, I 2 = 1 %) and overall digestive tract (OR = 0·50; 95 % CI 0·36, 0·69; P < 0·001, I 2 = 90 %) cancers a significant preventive effect of apples was found only in case-control studies while prospective studies indicated no effect. No evidence of publication bias could be detected for colorectal, oral cavity, oesophageal and breast cancer. However, some confounding effects may be present and related to the consumption of other fruit which have not been considered as adjusting factors. Conclusions: The present meta-analysis indicates that consumption of apples is associated with a reduced risk of cancer in different anatomical sites. Keywords Cancer preventionApple intake Dietary Epidemiology Meta-analysis Cancer is a chronic degenerative disease causing major morbidity and mortality in Western countries. It has been estimated that in the year 2012, 14·1 million new cancer cases were diagnosed and 8·2 million cancer deaths were established (1) . The overall age-standardized cancer incidence rates vary three-to fivefold across different regions of the world (2) . These variations may be related to different modifiable risk and preventive factors among which diet may play a central role. It has been estimated that about one-third of all cancer could be avoidable by changes in eating habits (3) .Foods of plant origin have received particular interest over the years as potential cancer-preventive components of a healthy diet. Fruit and vegetables contain a myriad of bioactive phytochemicals that, through various molecular mechanisms, show chemopreventive properties in both in...
