New South Korean study: Plant-based diet can reduce colorectal cancer risk in men

On November 29, 2022, a study published in BMC Medicine shows that a diet rich in healthy plant foods and low in healthy plant foods is associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in men.


Corresponding author Jihye Kim said:

"Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, with a lifetime risk of one in 23 men and one in 25 women. Although previous studies have suggested that plant-based diets may play a role in preventing colorectal cancer effect, but the effect of the nutritional quality of plant foods on this association is unknown."

Our findings suggest that eating a healthy plant-based diet is associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer.

A total of 79,952 men and 93,475 women participated in this multiethnic cohort study. The primary outcome was the incidence of invasive colorectal cancer. Cox models were used to estimate CRC risk for quintiles of three plant-based diet scores: overall plant-based diet index (PDI), healthy plant-based diet index (hPDI), and unhealthy plant-based diet index (uPDI).
