Navarro Silvera SA et al. - In a study to examine food group intake as a risk factor for subtypes of esophageal and gastric cancers, it was shown that high-fat dairy was associated with increased risk of both esophageal and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma. Higher intake of meats, particularly red meats, and lower intake of vegetables were associated with an increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma, while higher intake of meats, particularly poultry, and high-fat dairy was associated with increased risk of gastric cardia adenocarcinoma Methods
Associations between food groups and risk were estimated using adjusted odds ratios (OR), based on increasing intake of 1 serving per day
Results
Total vegetable intake was associated with decreased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma
Total meat intake was associated with increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma, gastric cardia adenocarcinoma and noncardia gastric adenocarcinoma, with red meat most strongly associated with esophageal adenocarcinoma risk
Poultry was most strongly associated with gastric cardia adenocarcinoma and noncardia gastric adenocarcinoma
