- The study aimed to understand how nutrient intakes influence the high rates of gastric cancer in residents of Zhoushan Islands, China, using a case-control design with 103 cancer cases and 133 controls.
- Results indicated that high consumption of protein, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium is linked to an increased risk of gastric cancer, especially in males, while carbohydrates significantly raised risk for females.
- Conversely, nutrients like polyunsaturated fat, vitamin A, and vitamin C appeared to offer a protective effect against gastric cancer, highlighting the significance of dietary factors in cancer risk.
