Based on a lower reported incidence of breast cancer in the Arab population in Israel, nutritional levels were evaluated in a case-control study of 33 Jewish and 10 Arab patients with breast cancer all matched with a first-degree family-related control. Demographic, gynecologic, obstetric, anthropometric, genetically tumor-related, and nutritional data were ascertained through interviews, tests, and questionnaires. Food consumption, calories, protein, fat, and fiber intake, and anthropomorphic measures were calculated. The following results were obtained: 1. Calories of food consumption were significantly higher in Jewish and Arab patients than in their controls. 2. Jewish patients consumed significantly higher levels of monounsaturated fat; Arab patients consumed significantly higher levels of dietary fiber. 3. Animal protein intake was elevated in patients of both ethnic origins as compared with controls. 4. Vegetable fat and monounsaturated fatty acids were elevated in Arab patients as compared with Jewish patients. 5. Body weight of both Arab and Jewish patients was not significantly higher when compared with their controls. 6. Energy consumption and obesity were higher in breast cancer patients than in the controls. This supporting evidence suggests an association between obesity and breast cancer occurrence.
基于以色列阿拉伯人群中乳腺癌发病率较低的报道，在一项病例对照研究中对营养水平进行了评估。该研究纳入了33名犹太裔和10名阿拉伯裔乳腺癌患者，所有患者均与一级亲属相关对照进行匹配。通过访谈、检测和问卷确定人口统计学、妇科、产科、人体测量学、肿瘤相关遗传学和营养数据。计算食物摄入量、卡路里、蛋白质、脂肪和纤维摄入量以及人体测量指标。获得了以下结果：1. 犹太裔和阿拉伯裔患者的食物消耗卡路里显著高于其对照。2. 犹太裔患者的单不饱和脂肪摄入量显著更高；阿拉伯裔患者的膳食纤维摄入量显著更高。3. 与对照相比，两个种族的患者动物蛋白摄入量均升高。4. 与犹太裔患者相比，阿拉伯裔患者的植物脂肪和单不饱和脂肪酸升高。5. 与对照相比，阿拉伯裔和犹太裔患者的体重均无显著升高。6. 乳腺癌患者的能量消耗和肥胖率高于对照。这一支持性证据表明肥胖与乳腺癌发生之间存在关联。
