Dietary total antioxidant capacity and odds of lung cancer: a large case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background& aims

We aimed to study the association between dietary total antioxidant capacity (dTAC) and lung cancer (LC) odds in an Iranian population.

Methods

We recruited histopathologically diagnosed LC patients and healthy subjects from 10 provinces of Iran. Trained interviewers conducted face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire to collect demographic and other non-dietary information. Dietary habits in the previous year were evaluated using a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). We calculated daily energy and nutrient intakes using the USDA Food Composition Table. DTAC was assessed as ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and total radical-trapping antioxidant parameters (TRAP) whose scores were calculated using published databases. The odd
