Adherence to lifelines diet is associated with lower lung cancer risk in 98,459 participants aged 55 years and above: a large prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lifelines Diet Score (LLDS) was developed based on the 2015 Dutch Dietary Guidelines and current international scientific evidence. As a dietary quality assessment tool, the LLDS aims to evaluate the association between the Lifeline diet and the risk of chronic diseases. However, the evidence linking LLDS to lung cancer risk is currently limited.

Objective

Our objective was to explore whether adherence to the LLDS is associated with reduced incidence and mortality of lung cancer, including its major histological subtypes: small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods

Data for this research were sourced from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Trial. The LLDS for each participant was calculated based on response
