Description
Summary:The association between soyfood consumption and subsequent bladdercancer risk was investigated in a population-based cohort study, the Singapore Chinese Health Study. As of December 31, 2000, 329,848 person-years of follow-up were accrued. Sixty-one histologically confirmed incident bladder cancer cases were identified. Information on soyfood consumption at baseline was obtained through in-person interviews using a validated dietary questionnaire. Relative risks and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using the Cox proportional hazard regression method. High intake of soyfood was statistically significantly related to an elevated risk of bladder cancer. Relative to the lowest quartile of energy-adjusted total soy intake (
