The Influence of the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) on Cancer Risk
Previously we have conducted a number of DII construct validation studies using data from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) and Buffalo Cardio-Metabolic Occupational Police Stress (BCOPS) study and found that the DII significantly predicted concentrations of serum hs-CRP, IL-6, TNFα, as well as the glucose intolerance component of the metabolic syndrome. In other studies (e.g., WHI), the DII has been shown also to significantly predict risk of colorectal cancer. The WHI is a large cohort study comprised entirely of older women, while the BCOPS design was cross-sectional.
Given these previous studies, our current objective is to evaluate the association of the DII with risk of total cancer and site-specific cancers in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO). The PLCO is a well characterized and diverse study population with large number of cancer cases that would provide ample power to conduct subgroup analysis by gender and race.
1) To assess the inflammatory potential of usual diets of PLCO participants and compare with NHANES levels in a descriptive study
2) To evaluate the association of the inflammatory potential of diet and risk of total cancer
3) To evaluate the association of the inflammatory potential of diet and risk of site-specific cancers including colorectal, lung, prostate, breast, liver, pancreatic, and ovarian cancers
