Dietary fat intake and liver cancer risk: A prospective cohort study in Chinese women.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine whether dietary fat intake increased liver cancer risk in Chinese women from a prospective population-based cohort. A total of 72,704 Chinese women were followed up from the time of baseline recruitment (1996-2000) to the end of 2016. Dietary fat intake was calculated using a validated food frequency questionnaire. The Cox regression model was used to assess the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for dietary fat intake and liver cancer risk. We identified 252 incident liver cancer cases out of 1,267,845 person-years during the overall follow-up time. Null associations, neither in quartiles nor per standard deviation (SD) increment, were detected between liver cancer risk and dietary total fat, fat subtypes and subtype ratios, and food sources.
