Dietary carbohydrates, glycemic index, glycemic load, and endometrial cancer risk within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort.

چکیده
The associations of dietary total carbohydrates, overall glycemic index, total dietary glycemic load, total sugars, total starch, and total fiber with endometrial cancer risk were analyzed among 288,428 women in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort (1992-2004), including 710 incident cases diagnosed during a mean 6.4 years of follow-up. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate relative risks and 95% confidence intervals. There were no statistically significant associations with endometrial cancer risk for increasing quartile intakes of any of the exposure variables. However, in continuous models calibrated by using 24-hour recall values, the multivariable relative risks were 1.61 (95% confidence interval: 1.06, 2.45) per 100 g/day of total carbohydrates, 1.40 (95% confidence interval: 0.99, 1.99) per 50 units/day of total dietary glycemic load, and 1.36 (95% confidence interval: 1.05, 1.76) per 50 g/day of total sugars. These associations were stronger among women who had never used postmenopausal hormone therapy compared with ever users (total carbohydrates p(heterogeneity) = 0.04). Data suggest no association of overall glycemic index, total starch, and total fiber with risk, and a possible modest positive association of total carbohydrates, total dietary glycemic load, and total sugars with risk, particularly among never users of hormone replacement therapy.

Pnm-28: Dietary Glycemic Index, Glycemic Load, and The Risk of Endometrial Cancer
Background Endometrial cancer is a hormone-dependent disease and has been consistently associated with obesity. Non genetic lifestyle factors may account for more than 75% of endometrial cancer cases and represent potential targets for prevention of this disease. Insulin resistance induced by diet may play a particularly pernicious role in the development of endometrial cancer, possibly by redu...

BACKGROUND Dietary carbohydrates, glycemic load and glycemic index have been hypothesized to influence pancreatic cancer risk, but epidemiological studies have been inconsistent. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies to clarify these results. METHODS PubMed and several other databases were searched for prospective studies of intake of carbohydrates, glycemi...
متن کاملOriginal Contribution Dietary Carbohydrate Intake, Glycemic Index, and Glycemic Load and Endometrial Cancer Risk: A Prospective Cohort Study
Endometrial cancer risk has been directly associated with glycemic load. However, few studies have investigated this link, and the etiological role of specific dietary carbohydrate components remains unclear. Our aim was to investigate associations of carbohydrate intake, glycemic index, and glycemic load with endometrial cancer risk in the US Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Scree...
متن کاملGlycemic index, glycemic load, and incidence of endometrial cancer: the Iowa women's health study.
Although specific foods or nutrients have not been linked consistently with risk of endometrial cancer, obesity and diabetes are associated with increased risk. These conditions may be influenced by the glycemic index or load of the usual diet. We therefore examined the association of glycemic index and load measured at baseline using a food frequency questionnaire in a cohort of 23335 postmeno...
متن کاملGlycemic load, glycemic index, and pancreatic cancer risk in the Netherlands Cohort Study.
BACKGROUND Recent studies of pancreatic cancer suggest a role for hyperinsulinemia in carcinogenesis. Because insulin is secreted in response to elevated blood glucose concentrations, dietary factors that increase these concentrations may be important in pancreatic carcinogenesis. OBJECTIVE The objective was to examine prospectively the relation between pancreatic cancer risk and dietary glyc...
