PG - e665-e674 LID - S1526-8209(21)00086-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.clbc.2021.04.008 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: No data are available on the association between dietary insulin index (DII) and dietary insulin load (DIL) and the risk of breast cancer (BC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: This hospital-based case-control study enrolled 150 newly diagnosed cases of BC and 150 age-matched controls. All cases were patients with pathologically confirmed BC, with no history of any type of other pathologically confirmed cancers. Controls were selected from visitors, relatives, and friends of non-cancer patients in other wards who had no family relationships with the cases. We assessed the dietary intakes of study participants using a validated 147-item semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. DII and DIL were obtained from previously published data. RESULTS: A significant positive association was found between DII and BC (odds ratio [OR], 1.82; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-3.25), such that after considering energy intake and age, participants in the highest tertile of DII had 1.86 times greater risk of BC than those in the lowest tertile (OR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.03-3.35). However, this association became non-significant after controlling for further potential risk factors (OR, 3.26; 95% CI, 0.9-11.7). Furthermore, we observed a significant positive association between DIL and BC (OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.06-3.40). The association remained significant even after controlling for age and energy intake. Further controlling for other potential confounders resulted in the disappearance of the association (OR, 3.06; 95% CI, 0.87-10.6). CONCLUSION: Adherence to a diet with high DII and DIL was not associated with odds of BC after controlling for potential confounders. CI - Copyright (c) 2021. Published by Elsevier Inc.
