Fried food consumption and the risk of pancreatic cancer: A large prospective multicenter study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Whether fried food consumption is associated with the risk of pancreatic cancer remains elusive. We aimed to examine this association in a US population.

Methods

A population-based cohort of 101,729 US adults was identified. Fried food consumption was assessed with a validated food frequency questionnaire. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Explanatory analyses were conducted to identify main contributor(s) to the observed association.

Results

During an average follow-up of 8.86 years (900871.2 person-years), 402 pancreatic cancer cases occurred. High consumption of total fried foods (deep-fried plus pan-fried foods; HR_{quartile4 vs. 1} 0.71, 95% CI 0.51-0.99, P _trend = 0.047) and dee
