Low adherence to the western and high adherence to the mediterranean dietary patterns could prevent colorectal cancer

Abstract: Our results are consistent with most of the associations previously found between these patterns and breast, prostate and gastric cancer risk and indicate that consuming whole fruits, vegetables, legumes, olive oil, nuts, and fish and avoiding red and processed meat, refined grains, sweets, caloric drinks, juices, convenience food, and sauces might reduce CRC risk.

“…In order to better elucidate the role of these types of interactions in the etiology of CRC, the aim of this study was to analyze them in a sample of cases and controls from the population-based bowel cancer screening program (BCSP) of the Osakidetza/Basque Health Service. The main advantage of the present study compared to other similar research [23][24][25] is that we confirmed that controls were free of the disease through colonoscopy. Colonoscopy was used as the diagnosis criterion to identify the cases in order to avoid false positives and negatives.…”

“…Non‐Mediterranean Western diet, obesity, little physical activity, high consumption of red and processed meat, and low fiber intake are the most relevant risk factors for developing CRC (Castelló et al ., ; Edwards et al ., ; Hessami Arani and Kerachian, ; Slattery et al ., , ; Thune and Lund, ). There is a recently increased incidence of obesity in the USA, especially among young patients, and, being a well‐known risk factor for CRC, this may have played a role in reducing the age of CRC onset (Aleksandrova et al ., ; Bailey et al ., ; Bassett et al ., ; Hedley et al ., ).…”

“…Scores of adherence to dietary patterns can be calculated following the exact same rules over different populations, resulting in different levels of adherence while still being valid, as has been recently proved. 35 As a matter of fact, the current dietary patterns had previously been constructed in the MCC-study and a Western dietary pattern was positively associated with gastric, 48 breast 49 and colorectal 50 cancers.…”
