Association of inflammatory and insulinemic dietary patterns with risk of endometrial cancer
Dr. Andrea Romanos-Nanclares
Chronic inflammation and insulin resistance/hyperinsulinemia are major endometrial cancer risk factors. However, it is unclear whether inflammatory or insulinemic diets are associated with risk of endometrial cancer. Analysis of 133,756 women in the Nurses Health Studies I and II found that higher dietary and insulinemic potential were each associated with increased type I endometrial cancer incidence. This association was almost entirely mediated by adiposity.
