About this study

Official title: Diet Quality Scores and Risk of Incident Breast Cancer in Healthy Women

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between indices of overall diet quality and incident breast cancer risk in a large prospective cohort of women.

Read the detailed description

This study examined the role of overall diet quality on the risk of developing invasive breast cancer among 96,959 women in the California Teachers Study, in which 4,826 women were diagnosed with breast cancer during follow-up (1995-2011). Participants' dietary habits were recorded at baseline (1995) using a 103-item Block95 Food Frequency Questionnaire to allow for the assessment of overall diet quality. Specifically, diet quality was characterized by the Alternate Mediterranean Diet (aMED), Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI-2010), Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), and Paleolithic Index scores. Associations between diet quality and the risk of developing breast cancer were examined using multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models to provide hazard ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incident Invasive Breast Cancer

    All incident cancer cases were identified through linkage with the California Cancer Registry (CCR) records, which is a population-based cancer registry for California residents.

    Measured: 1995-2011

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Invasive Breast Cancer and Incident Breast Cancer, run by University of California, Irvine.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incident Invasive Breast Cancer (time frame: 1995-2011). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03304171, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Oct 2017.
