The association of dietary pattern and breast cancer in Jiangsu, China: A population-based case-control study

Abstract

This study aims to examine the association of breast cancer with dietary patterns among Chinese women. A population-based case-control study was conducted in Jiangsu, China. Newly diagnosed primary breast cancer patients were recruited as cases (n = 818). Controls (n = 935), selected from the general population, were frequency matched to cases. A validated food frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary intake. Dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis and multivariable odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated. Four dietary patterns were identified: salty, vegetarian, sweet and traditional Chinese. The traditional Chinese pattern was found to be robustly associated with a lower risk of breast cancer among both pre- and post-menopausal women (4th vs. 1st quartile: OR for pre- and post-menopausal women was 0.47 and 0.68, respectively). Women with high factor scores of the sweet pattern also showed a decreased risk of breast cancer (4th vs. 1st quartile: OR for pre- and post-menopausal women was 0.47 and 0.68, respectively). No marked association was observed between a vegetarian pattern or a salty pattern and breast cancer. These findings indicate that dietary patterns of the traditional Chinese and the sweet may favorably associate with the risk of breast cancer among Chinese women.

Association between dietary patterns and risk of breast cancer in Chinese female population: a latent class analysis

“…Chinese Wuxi Exposure and Breast Cancer Study (2013)(2014)) is a population-based case-control study. The subjects were all women who lived in Wuxi city, Jiangsu Province, China, for more than 5 years, as previously reported (25) . According to the cancer registration system, newly diagnosed BC patients within 1 year were selected as the case group.…”

Prediction of Metastasis in the Axillary Lymph Nodes of Patients With Breast Cancer: A Radiomics Method Based on Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography

“…Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in females and accounts for 29% of all new cancer diagnoses in women, with an estimated 1.7 million cases annually ( 1 , 2 ). General trends indicate that the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer have increased gradually during the past decade ( 3 ). Axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) is the most important lymphatic metastatic pathway for breast cancer.…”

Dietary Intake of Polyphenols and the Risk of Breast Cancer: a Case-Control Study

“…The prevalence of BC in developed countries is higher than in developing countries, which can be related to many factors such as aging, lifestyle changes, migration to urban communities, etc. [ 7 ]. The World Health Organization reports that annually 1.7 million cases are diagnosed and 515,000 die from BC worldwide [ 6 ].…”
