Pattern 5 (drinker) replicates previous findings, [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] whereas the Pattern 6 (western) was rather similar to the so-called dietary pattern in other studies. [13][14][15][16] Besides, this western dietary pattern might have some differences from other reported western dietary patterns, in view of this methodology's subjective criteria.…”

“…From this pool, 290 controls were frequency-matched to cases on age and urban or rural status. These controls presented with the following diseases: abdominal hernia (68 patients, 23.4%), eye disorders (55, 19.0%), diseases of the skin (46, 15.9%), hydatid cyst (24,8.2%), varicose veins (22, 7.6%), acute appendicitis (22, 7.6%), urinary stones (20,6.9%), injuries (20,6.9%) and prostate hypertrophy (13, 4.5%).…”

Laryngeal carcinoma is a common malignancy among Uruguayan men. A number of case-control and prospective studies have studied the role of diet in this malignancy. To our knowledge, this is the first study that has explored broad dietary patterns by factor (principal components) analysis. The results of this study retained 6 dietary patterns. Pattern 5 (drinker) was directly associated with risk of laryngeal carcinoma (OR 3.8, 95% CI 1.9-7.5), whereas the Pattern 2 (healthy) was protective (OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.3-1.2). Finally, the Pattern 6 (western) displayed a significant increase in risk of 3.2 (95% CI 1.6-6.2). Most dietary patterns were associated with supraglottic cancer, supporting a possible etiological difference between supraglottic and glottic carcinomas. This study also suggests that the analysis of dietary patterns might be a useful approach for investigating nutritional factors implicated in laryngeal carcinogenesis. ' 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

“…The first five factors, however, describe associations among solid food and alcohol-related variables, and we decided to keep only these factors in the following cluster analyses. Choosing five factors is equivalent to keeping all factors with eigenvalues greater than 1.5 (Handa & Kreiger, 2002;Markaki et al, 2003). These five factors explain 23.7% of the variance.…”

Dietary patterns and lifestyle factors in the Norwegian EPIC cohort: The Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) study

et al. 2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective: To identify different dietary patterns in Norway using a combination of cluster and factor analysis. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Nation-wide, population-based study. Subjects: The Norwegian EPIC cohort is a subcohort of the Norwegian Women and Cancer study (NOWAC), and consist 37.226 women aged 41-56 y who answered a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) in 1998. Interventions: The associations among 50 food variables were first investigated by using principal component analysis. Five important factors were found. The five principal components were then used as input in the cluster analysis. Different socioeconomic and lifestyle variables were examined. Results: Six clusters of dietary patterns were found, and were labelled accordingly: 'traditional fish eaters', 'healthy eaters', 'average, less fish, less healthy', 'Western', 'traditional bread eaters', and 'alcohol users'. The traditional fish eaters and the traditional bread eaters were both highly represented in the north and west of Norway and were more likely to be present among persons with lower income and lower education. The healthy and the alcohol drinkers were found mostly in the south and east and were more likely to have higher income. Persons in the alcohol group were more likely to be current smokers. The western group had the highest percentage of three or more persons in the household and the shortest time since last birth, indicating that families with children dominate this group. Conclusion: Our data indicate six different dietary patterns in Norway, each with different socio-demographic and lifestyle characteristics.

“…One method of identifying and examining broader dietary patterns that may be associated with disease is factor analysis. This approach has been previously used in studies of colon or colorectal cancer (4)(5)(6)(7)(8), stomach cancer (9, 10), breast cancer (11), endometrial cancer (12), renal cell cancer (13), and thyroid cancer (14).…”

The objective of this article was to study the association between dietary patterns and lung cancer incidence in the Netherlands Cohort Study on Diet and Cancer. The baseline measurement of this prospective case cohort study that was completed by 58,279 men in 1986 included a selfadministered questionnaire on dietary intake, smoking habits, and other covariates. Follow-up was established by computerized record linkage to cancer registries and a pathology register. After 9.3 years of follow-up, 1,426 confirmed cases of incident male lung cancer were detected. Five dietary patterns were identified by exploratory factor analysis in a randomly sampled subcohort (n = 2,190). The dietary pattern labeled ''salad vegetables'' was associated with decreased risk of lung cancer [rate ratios (RR) Q5 Q5 , 0.75; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.55-1.01], after multivariate adjustment. This inverse association was most evident among current and former smokers. A dietary pattern labeled ''sweet foods'' was also inversely associated with lung cancer risk (RR Q5 Q5 , 0.62; 95% CI, 0.43-0.89). However, the higher intake of monosaccharides and disaccharides, fruits, and lower consumption of alcohol associated with this pattern could not account for its full protective effect. The ''pork, processed meat, and potatoes'' pattern was nonsignificantly associated with increased risk (RR Q5 Q5 , 1.44; 95% CI, 0.99-2.09), and this positive association was most evident among current smokers. The other dietary patterns characterized by brown/ white bread substitution and by consumption of cooked vegetables were not associated with lung cancer risk. These results show how studying both single factors and dietary patterns gives more insight into the complex, and often seemingly inconsistent, associations between diet and cancer.
