Diet quality and risk of gastric adenocarcinoma: The Multiethnic Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Certain dietary patterns (i.e., low intake of fruit/vegetables and high intake of salt and processed meats) have been associated with the risk of gastric cancer. However, it is unclear whether overall diet quality assessed by predefined indices that consider the complexity of dietary intake is associated with gastric cardia and distal adenocarcinoma.

Objectives

To examine the association of a variety of diet indices with the risk of gastric cardia and distal adenocarcinoma and assess whether there are any subgroups that may benefit from better diets to reduce the risk of gastric adenocarcinoma.

Methods

Dietary indices of interest included the Alternative Healthy Index (AHEI)-2010, Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015, the Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension, a
