Dietary Patterns and Breast Cancer Susceptibility; An Age-Tailored Case-Control Analysis
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is a significant global health challenge, requiring in-depth analysis of diverse dietary and lifestyle factors. This study explores these complexities across age groups to better understand associated risks. Objectives: This study examines breast cancer risk by analyzing specific dietary elements like rice, bread, vegetables, and fruits, and lifestyle factors including alcohol, drug use, and smoking across different age groups. Methods: A case-control study was conducted, analyzing dietary habits across different age groups. The study included 220 breast cancer patients and 59 healthy controls. Data were collected on the consumption of various foods, including white and brown rice, white and brown bread, vegetables, fruits, and oils, with statistical analyses performed to assess associations with breast cancer risk. Results: The analysis revealed significant differences in dietary patterns between the breast cancer and control groups. Notably, 37.27% of breast cancer patients aged 31-40 reported consuming white rice, compared to only 8.47% in the control group. Additionally, white bread consumption was higher in the breast cancer group (36.82%) compared to controls (8.47%). Conversely, brown rice and bread consumption were significantly lower among breast cancer patients. Vegetable consumption was also lower in the breast cancer group, with 37.27% in the 31-40 age group versus 32.20% in controls. Oil consumption patterns further highlighted disparities, with soybean oil intake being higher in the breast cancer group (35.00%) compared to controls (6.78%). Conclusion: This study reveals intricate links between breast cancer and dietary patterns, emphasizing the need for personalized public health strategies promoting balanced nutrition and healthier lifestyles to mitigate risk.
