A healthy diet may reduce a woman's risk of ovarian cancer

The level of medical health disparities eighth annual meeting of the American race science and Minority Cancer American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) organized a study data showed that a healthy diet can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in African-American women.
Bo (Bonnie) Qin, PhD, said "For ovarian cancer, there is no reliable screening program, most in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer is already advanced stage, so identifying factors that can prevent vital life, including dietary intervention . "
In the United States, ovarian cancer is the fifth cause of cancer death in women causes. African-American women to lower rates of the disease diagnosis, but the mortality rate is higher. Qin of 415 women with ovarian cancer and 629 control patients conducted a study to explore the improved diet can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, African American women.
Ovarian cancer patients completed one year of diagnosis of ovarian precancerous questionnaires on diet in the control group completed the same questionnaire. We evaluated three diet types: HEI-2005 based on the federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans; HEI-2010 reflects the most recent dietary guidelines, and stressed eating quality; AHEI-2010 based on different nutritional guidance, healthy eating pyramid.
Qin said that "adherence to AHEI-2010 best female group diagnostics compliance than the worst risk of ovarian cancer by 34% smaller."
Postmenopausal women, HEI-2010 score in the highest quartile small 43%, AHEI-2010 scored the highest quartile diagnosis of ovarian cancer than the lowest 51 percent less likely to the least likely of the diagnosis of ovarian cancer than.
Qin said the "HEI-2010 dietary intake of vegetables, green vegetables, beans, seafood and vegetable protein intake of fewer calories meaningless solid fat, alcohol, added sugar; AHEI-2010 dietary intake just more vegetables and fewer sugary drinks and fruit juices; these are beneficial to the people. "
There are many diets common element, AHEI-2010 concrete proposals more protein and fat sources include nuts, legumes, ω- 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Use energy density method HEI-2010, according to a person's recommended daily nutritional diet optimal intake.
Qin said the "Future studies also need to determine the impact of different aspects of a healthy diet on the risk of ovarian cancer, as well as specific nutritional impact of the disease.""As a high-quality diet is beneficial for many chronic diseases, but also a safe choice for better health."
Qin said the main limitation of the study is that the study patients were asked to recall the year before diagnosis diet research that led to the presence of recall bias and inaccurate reporting.
