Author: Nomura, A M : Kolonel, L N : Hankin, J H : Yoshizawa, C N
Citation: Int-J-Cancer. 1991 May 10; 48(2): 199-205
This dietary study was based on 195 male and 66 female cases of lower urinary tract cancer,
identified in Hawaii between 1977 and 1986. Each case was matched for sex, age, and ethnic
group (Caucasian or Japanese) to 2 population-based controls. There was a decrease in risk with
increasing levels of consumption of vitamin C in women (p = 0.03) and dark green vegetables in
men (p = 0.02). When examined by quartile, the odds ratios for the highest quartile of intake
Abstract: compared to the lowest quartile were 0.4 for women and 0.6 for men, respectively. Although
dark green vegetables are a source of carotenoids, the intake of total carotenoids, retinol and
total vitamin A was weakly and inconsistently related to risk in both sexes. Among women only,
there was also an inverse association with the consumption of regular ground coffee (p = 0.02)
but not with other types of coffee. Finally, there were no statistically significant or consistent
differences between cases and controls in the intake of artificial sweeteners and tea.
