Association Between Dietary Fatty Acid Pattern and Risk of Oral Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the association between dietary fatty acid (FA) patterns and the risk of oral cancer.

Method

A case-control study which included 446 patients with oral cancer and 448 controls subjects was conducted in Southeast China. A structured food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the dietary FA consumption before cancer diagnosis. FA patterns were identified using the principal component analysis, and the relationship between the dietary FA patterns and oral cancer was analyzed by logistic regression.

Results

General differences in FA intake were observed between the patient and control groups. The intakes of saturated FAs (SFAs) C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, and monounsaturated FA C18:1 were higher in the patient group than the control group (p
