Association between Nutrient-Based Dietary Patterns and Bladder Cancer in Italy
Limited knowledge is available on dietary patterns and bladder cancer risk. We analyzed data from an Italian case-control study carried out between 2003 and 2014, including 690 incident bladder cancer cases and 665 hospital-controls. We derived nutrient-based dietary patterns applying principal comp...

Sumario: | Limited knowledge is available on dietary patterns and bladder cancer risk. We analyzed data from an Italian case-control study carried out between 2003 and 2014, including 690 incident bladder cancer cases and 665 hospital-controls. We derived nutrient-based dietary patterns applying principal component factor analysis on 28 selected nutrients. We categorized factor scores according to quartiles, and estimated the odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) through logistic regression models, adjusted for major confounding factors. We identified four dietary patterns named “Animal products”, “Vitamins and fiber”, “Starch-rich”, and “Animal unsaturated fatty acids”. We found an inverse association between the “Vitamins and fiber” pattern and bladder cancer (OR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.48–0.99, IV versus I quartile category). Inverse relationships of borderline significance were also found for the “Animal products” and the “Animal unsaturated fatty acids” dietary patterns. No significant association was evident for the “Starch-rich” pattern. The current study allowed us to identify major dietary patterns in this Italian population. Our study confirms available evidence and shows that scoring high on a fruit-and-vegetables pattern provides beneficial effects on bladder cancer risk. |
