Proinflammatory dietary pattern and risk of total and subtypes of breast cancer among US women.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dietary patterns promoting chronic inflammation, including the empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP), have been associated with certain cancers. Investigating whether this dietary pattern is associated with breast cancer-where the role of inflammation is less well-defined-could provide valuable insights and potentially improve strategies for preventing this cancer.

Methods

We prospectively followed 76 386 women from Nurses' Health Study (NHS, 1984-2018) and 92 886 women from Nurses' Health Study II (NHSII, 1991-2019). Diet was assessed by food frequency questionnaires every 4 years, starting at baseline. The inflammatory potential of diet was evaluated using the validated EDIP based on plasma C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor α-R
