We investigated the role of fried foods on oral-pharyngeal and oesophageal cancers, using data from two case - control studies conducted in Italy and Switzerland between 1992 and 1999, one with a total of 749 ( 634 men) cases of oral/pharyngeal cancer and 1772 ( 1252 men) controls, the other with 395 ( 351 men) cases of oesophageal cancer and 1066 ( 875 men) controls. Controls were admitted for acute, non-neoplastic conditions, unrelated to alcohol and smoking consumption. After allowance for sex, age, centre, education, body mass index, tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking and nonalcohol energy intake, the multivariate odds ratios (ORs) for an increment of one portion per week of total fried foods were 1.11 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.05 - 1.17) for oral-pharyngeal and 1.16 ( 95% CI: 1.08 - 1.26) for oesophageal cancer. The ORs were consistent across strata of gender ( OR in men only were 1.10 and 1.16, respectively), age, alcohol, tobacco consumption and body mass index.

Abstract
We investigated the role of fried foods on oral-pharyngeal and oesophageal cancers, using data from two case - control studies conducted in Italy and Switzerland between 1992 and 1999, one with a total of 749 ( 634 men) cases of oral/pharyngeal cancer and 1772 ( 1252 men) controls, the other with 395 ( 351 men) cases of oesophageal cancer and 1066 ( 875 men) controls. Controls were admitted for acute, non-neoplastic conditions, unrelated to alcohol and smoking consumption. After allowance for sex, age, centre, education, body mass index, tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking and nonalcohol energy intake, the multivariate odds ratios (ORs) for an increment of one portion per week of total fried foods were 1.11 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.05 - 1.17) for oral-pharyngeal and 1.16 ( 95% CI: 1.08 - 1.26) for oesophageal cancer. The ORs were consistent across strata of gender ( OR in men only were 1.10 and 1.16, respectively), age, alcohol, tobacco consumption and body mass index.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
