Dietary total antioxidant capacity and odds of lung cancer: a large case-control study

Abstract

Highlights Lung cancer (LC) is the most common cancer among males and the third most common cancer among females worldwide. Focusing on primary prevention may be the main strategy for reducing the overall mortality of LC, especially in LMICs. This study showed that dTAC assessed either by FRAP or TRAP procedure is inversely associated with the odds of LC. The strong association in all subgroups, emphasizes the importance of an antioxidant-rich diet in all subjects even in nonsmokers with a lower odds of lung cancer.
