Besides tobacco and alcohol, diet and inflammation have been suggested to be important risk factors for laryngeal cancer. In this study, we examined the role of diet-associated inflammation, as estimated by dietary inflammatory index (DII) scores, in laryngeal cancer in a multicentre case-control study conducted between 1992 and 2000 in Italy.
This study included 460 cases with incident, histologically confirmed laryngeal cancer, and 1,088 controls hospitalized for acute non-neoplastic diseases unrelated to tobacco and alcohol consumption. DII scores were computed from a reproducible and valid 78-item food-frequency questionnaire. Logistic regression models controlling for age, sex, study center, education, body mass index, tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking, and non-alcohol energy intake were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (CIs).
Subjects with higher DII scores (i.e., with a more pro-inflammatory diet) had a higher risk of laryngeal cancer. The OR was 3.30 (95 % CI 2.06, 5.28; p for trend <0.0001) for the highest versus the lowest DII quartile. When DII was considered as a continuous variable, the OR was 1.27 (95 % CI 1.15, 1.40) for a one-unit (9 % of the DII range) increase. Stratified analyses produced slightly stronger associations between DII and laryngeal cancer risk among Subjects <60 years old (ORquartile4vs1 = 4.68), overweight subjects (ORQuartile4vs1 = 3.62), and among those with higher education (ORQuartile4vs1 = 3.92). We also observed a strong combined effect of higher DII and tobacco smoking or alcohol consumption on risk of laryngeal cancer. Compared with non-smokers having low DII scores, the OR was 6.64 for smokers with high DII scores. Likewise, compared with non/moderate drinkers with low DII, the OR was 5.82 for heavy drinkers with high DII.
These results indicate that a pro-inflammatory diet is associated with increased risk of laryngeal cancer.
除烟草和酒精外,饮食与炎症被认为是喉癌的重要危险因素。在本研究中,我们在1992年至2000年于意大利开展的一项多中心病例对照研究中,探讨了通过饮食炎症指数(DII)评分估算的饮食相关炎症在喉癌中的作用。
本研究纳入了460例新发的、经组织学确诊的喉癌病例,以及1088例因与烟草和酒精消费无关的急性非肿瘤性疾病住院的对照。DII评分通过一份可重复且有效的包含78个项目的食物频率问卷计算得出。使用控制年龄、性别、研究中心、教育程度、体重指数、吸烟、饮酒和非酒精能量摄入的逻辑回归模型来估计比值比(OR)及相应的95%置信区间(CI)。
DII评分较高(即饮食促炎程度更高)的受试者患喉癌的风险更高。最高DII四分位数与最低DII四分位数相比,OR为3.30(95%CI 2.06, 5.28;趋势p<0.0001)。当将DII视为连续变量时,DII每增加一个单位(占DII范围的9%),OR为1.27(95%CI 1.15, 1.40)。分层分析显示,在年龄<60岁的受试者(OR四分位数4对1 = 4.68)、超重受试者(OR四分位数4对1 = 3.62)以及受过高等教育的受试者(OR四分位数4对1 = 3.92)中,DII与喉癌风险之间的关联略强。我们还观察到较高的DII与吸烟或饮酒对喉癌风险具有强烈的联合作用。与DII评分低的非吸烟者相比,DII评分高的吸烟者的OR为6.64。同样,与DII低的非/适度饮酒者相比,DII高的重度饮酒者的OR为5.82。
这些结果表明促炎饮食与喉癌风险增加相关。
