Intakes of selected food groups and beverages and adult acute myeloid leukemia

Few studies have explored the association between diet and adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In a hospital-based case–control study among 111 cases and 439 controls, AML risk was negatively associated with milk intake among women (OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.08–0.73) and tea (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.23–1.09), and...

Description
Summary:Few studies have explored the association between diet and adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In a hospital-based case–control study among 111 cases and 439 controls, AML risk was negatively associated with milk intake among women (OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.08–0.73) and tea (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.23–1.09), and positively associated among women with beer (OR 2.48, 95% CI 1.05–5.85), wine (OR 2.32, 95% CI 1.05–5.09), and beef (OR 4.78, 95% CI 1.35–16.94). Our findings support a role of diet in adult AML; however, further research is needed to explore gender differences in risk.
