The traditional Mediterranean diet (MD) is associated to a lower risk of suffering multiple tumors. However, few studies have analyzed the relationship between MD and the risk of developing head and neck cancer (HNC). A case-control study comparing adherence to MD was conducted in patients diagnosed with HNC and healthy population.
The level of adherence to MD was assessed using the 14-item MEDAS (Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener) questionnaire, used in the PREDIMED study, in patients diagnosed with HNC at 12de Octubre Hospital in Madrid (cases) and in healthy subjects enrolled in a nearby primary health care center (controls). Adherence was stratified based on the score as low (≤7points), medium (8-9points), and high (≥10points). The odds ratio (OR) for developing HNC was estimated based on different factors.
A sample of 168 subjects (100 controls and 68 cases) was analyzed. Smoking (OR, 2.98 [95%CI: 1.44-6.12]; P=.003) and alcohol consumption (OR, 2.72 [95%CI: 1.39-5.33], P=.003) were strongly associated to HNC. However, medium-high adherence to MD was associated to a lower risk of developing HNC (OR, 0.48 [95%CI: 0.20-1.07], P=.052).
Consistent medium-high adherence to MD contributes to decrease the risk of developing HNC.
传统地中海饮食(MD)与患多种肿瘤的风险较低相关。然而,很少有研究分析MD与头颈癌(HNC)发生风险之间的关系。我们对诊断为HNC的患者和健康人群进行了一项比较MD依从性的病例对照研究。
采用PREDIMED研究中使用的包含14个条目的地中海饮食依从性筛查问卷(MEDAS),对马德里12月10日医院诊断为HNC的患者(病例组)和附近初级卫生保健中心纳入的健康受试者(对照组)进行MD依从性水平评估。根据得分将依从性分为低(≤7分)、中(8 - 9分)和高(≥10分)三个层次。基于不同因素估计发生HNC的比值比(OR)。
分析了168名受试者的样本(100名对照组和68名病例组)。吸烟(OR,2.98 [95%CI:1.44 - 6.12];P = 0.003)和饮酒(OR,2.72 [95%CI:1.39 - 5.33],P = 0.003)与HNC密切相关。然而,中高MD依从性与较低的HNC发生风险相关(OR,0.48 [95%CI:0.20 - 1.07],P = 0.052)。
持续的中高MD依从性有助于降低HNC的发生风险。
