| Popis: | Nutrition is important for cancer prevention. Previous research has found that socioeconomic factors may affect access to a healthy diet, which may impact the risk of cancer. To investigate this association, we assessed dietary behavior and the urinary concentrations of gallic acid, an antioxidant found in various fruits and vegetables, in racial minorities in New York City. Ninety-one (91) participants were recruited from a senior center in East Harlem, New York City, a racially diverse and underserved community. A National Institute of Health (NIH) - validated diet survey questionnaire was used to collect dietary behavior data. Demographic and cancer information were also collected. All 91 participants completed the survey and forty-five (45) participants provided urine samples for gallic acid analysis. Associations between demographic factors and the intake of certain foods were assessed. Gender differences were significantly associated with dietary behavior and urinary gallic acid concentrations. Female participants had a higher daily intake of fruits compared to male participants (p Citation Format: Cristina Zambrano, Wenyue Lu, Cicely Johnson, Maayan Beeber, April Panitz, Safa Ibrahim, Marilyn Fraser, Grace Ma, Khursheed Navder, Ming-Chin Yeh, Olorunseun Ogunwobi.
