Understanding the Link Between Dietary Fatty Acids and Ovarian Cancer
Purpose: There is ongoing debate about how dietary fatty acids (FAs) may affect the risk of ovarian cancer (OC). This study aimed to clarify this relationship using data from a large group of women.
Study Overview
Methods: The research included women from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial. Participants provided dietary information through a questionnaire. We used advanced statistical models to analyze the connection between dietary FAs and the occurrence of OC.
Key Findings
Results: Out of 50,614 women studied, 277 were diagnosed with ovarian cancer over an average follow-up period of 9.44 years. The study found no significant link between total dietary FAs intake and OC risk. However, women consuming lower amounts of FAs had a higher risk of OC, with hazard ratios indicating increased risk for those in the lowest intake percentiles. Similar patterns were observed across different types of FAs, whether from animal or plant sources.
Conclusion
Inadequate intake of various dietary fatty acids may be linked to a higher risk of ovarian cancer.
