Brit J Cancer: The relationship between adolescent animal product intake and prostate cancer risk and mortality

Although prostate cancer is the most common cancer among American men and the second leading cause of cancer deaths, little is known about its etiology and its prevention strategies
.

Studies have pointed out that the ingestion of animal products during adolescence can promote the development of prostate cancer, because of its potential carcinogenic components and affect the level of puberty hormones
.

Recently, a research article was published in the British Journal of Cancer, an authoritative journal in the field of oncology.
Researchers used data from 159,482 participants from the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study to investigate the red meat of adolescents at the age of 12-13.
Correlations between intakes of (raw beef and processed red meat), poultry, eggs, canned tuna, animal fat, and animal protein, and the risk of prostate cancer and mortality during the subsequent 14-year follow-up
.

HR and 95% CI for prostate cancer

The researchers observed a negative correlation trend between the adolescent raw beef intake and the total, advanced, and fatal prostate cancer risk (after multivariate adjustment, there were trends P=0.
01, 0.
02, and 0.
04, respectively)
.

It can be seen that the results of the study evidence that the intake of raw beef in adolescence, or possibly beef intake, is associated with a reduction in the risk of prostate cancer and mortality
