Abstract
Background and Objective: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between nutritional status and breast cancer.
Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 210 women (105 breast cancer patients and 105 healthy individuals) aged 20-89 years in Azadshahr (Iran) in 2019. Nutritional status was assessed using a researcher-made checklist.
Results: The majority of cancer patients were in the 40-54 years age group (49.5%). There was a significant difference between the case and control groups in terms of consumption of solid oil (49.5% vs. 31.4%), hot food (19% vs. 9.5%), carbonated drinks (29.5% vs. 21%) and the average number of servings of fried foods per week (3.2±1.79 vs. 2.3±1.73) (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of consumption of vegetables, type and amount of meat, animal oil, legumes, salt and tea.
Conclusion: The consumption of solid oil, hot food, carbonated drinks and fried foods could be associated with the risk of developing breast cancer.
