A short diet history for use in assessing dietary nitrosamine exposure in epidemiologic studies has been developed by using data from a case-control study of diet and stomach cancer carried out in Ontario, Manitoba, and Newfoundland between 1979 and 1982. The method gives excellent correlations for seven dietary components with estimates based on a full diet history, and also performs well when tested on a different data set from a case-control study of diet and colorectal cancer carried out in Ontario and Alberta between 1976 and 1978.
利用1979年至1982年在安大略省、曼尼托巴省和纽芬兰开展的饮食与胃癌病例对照研究的数据，开发出了一种用于在流行病学研究中评估膳食亚硝胺暴露情况的简短饮食史。该方法对七种膳食成分得出的结果与基于完整饮食史的估计值具有极佳的相关性，并且在对1976年至1978年在安大略省和艾伯塔省开展的饮食与结直肠癌病例对照研究的另一组数据进行测试时，表现也很出色。
