Dietary inflammatory index and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer in African American women
Diets that favor the intake of pro-inflammatory foods may propel the development of ovarian cancer in older African American women.
This study evaluated the high inflammatory diet-ovarian cancer connection hypothesis. Up to 1,155 African American women volunteered for this study and were assessed for their dietary preferences and ovarian cancer diagnosis status.
Researchers attributed a heightened risk of ovarian cancer with the consumption of pro-inflammatory foods in older women in the study population. The findings of this study reflect the presence of a strong link between high dietary ingestion of pro-inflammatory foods and increased likelihood of having ovarian cancer in older African American women.
