Diet quality and all-cause and cancer-specific mortality in cancer survivors and non-cancer individuals: the Multiethnic Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We examined post-diagnostic diet quality in relation to all-cause and cancer-specific mortality among adults diagnosed with invasive cancer between cohort entry (45-75 years) and their 10-year follow-up, in comparison with those without invasive cancer during that period, in the Multiethnic Cohort.

Methods

Data were from 70,045 African Americans, Native Hawaiians, Japanese Americans, Latinos, and Whites (6370 with cancer, 63,675 without cancer). Diet quality was measured by the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015, the Alternative HEI-2010 (AHEI-2010), the alternate Mediterranean Diet (aMED), and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) scores, using a food frequency questionnaire. Multivariable Cox models estimated the association of the dietary indexes at 10-y
