Parents of 135 children with appendicitis and of 212 comparison children were interviewed about their children's diet. Children in the upper two quartiles of fiber intake were estimated to have a 30 per cent lower risk of appendicitis than children in the lowest quartile. Estimated risk of appendicitis decreased as monthly intake of whole-grain foods increased. Children 7 to 18 years of age who had an intake of whole-grain foods in the upper fiftieth percentile were estimated to have a 50 per cent lower risk of appendicitis. This reduction in risk was not observed in the group of children less than 7 years of age.
研究人员就135名阑尾炎患儿和212名对照儿童的饮食情况对其父母进行了访谈。据估计，纤维摄入量处于上四分位数的儿童患阑尾炎的风险比处于最低四分位数的儿童低30%。随着全谷物食品月摄入量的增加，阑尾炎的估计风险降低。7至18岁全谷物食品摄入量处于上第五十分位数的儿童患阑尾炎的风险估计降低50%。在7岁以下儿童组中未观察到这种风险降低情况。
