Abstract Objective  To study the associations between intake of various types of fat and risk of prostate cancer (PCa) in a population-based cohort. Methods  We have studied 10,564 initially cancer-free men of the Malm� Diet and Cancer cohort, aged 45â73 years. Diet was assessed by a modified diet history method. Cases and clinical characteristics were ascertained via national and regional registry data. Results  During a mean follow-up of 11.0 years, 817 incidental PCa cases were diagnosed. Out of these, 281 were classified as advanced. There were 202 cases occurring before 65 years of age. After adjustment for age and energy intake, there was no association between intake of any types of fat and risk of PCa, or between fat intake and advanced PCa or PCa occurring in persons aged Conclusions  This large study, with high-validity dietary data, does not support an association between intake of total, saturated, or mono-unsaturated fat and PCa risk. The observed associations between EPA/DHA intakes and PCa are difficult to interpret. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
