Abstract

Purpose

Although fresh vegetable consumption has been linked with a lower risk of colorectal polyps, a precursor lesion for colorectal cancer (CRC), the association between preserved vegetable consumption and colorectal polyps is unknown. We aimed to assess the association of preserved vegetable intake with the prevalence of colorectal polyps with the consideration of subsites, sizes and multiplicity of polyps.

Methods

We analyzed the cross-sectional data from 40–80 years Chinese at a high risk of CRC from the Lanxi Pre-colorectal Cancer Cohort (LP3C) baseline survey, which was conducted between March 2018 and December 2019. Dietary information was obtained via a validated food frequency questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of preserved vegetable consumption and the prevalence of colorectal polyps.

Results

Of 6783 eligible participants in 2018–2019 survey of LP3C, 2064 prevalent colorectal polyp cases were identified. In the multivariable-adjusted model, preserved vegetable consumption was positively associated with the prevalence of colorectal polyps (OR for fourth vs. first quartile: 1.18; 95% CI 1.01–1.36; P trend = 0.02). The similar association was also detected for small polyps [ORQ4 vs Q1 (95% CI): 1.17 (1.00–1.37); P trend = 0.03]. The similar trend was detected for multiple polyps [OR Q4 vs Q1 (95% CI):1.27 (0.98–1.64); P trend = 0.04], proximal colon polyps [ORQ4 vs Q1 (95% CI): 1.12 (0.90–1.38); P trend = 0.07], and single polyp [ORQ4 vs Q1 (95% CI) for 1.15 (0.98–1.35); P trend = 0.06]. No significant association was observed for distal colon [ORQ4 vs Q1 (95% CI) 1.19 (0.98–1.45); P trend = 0.09]. Replacing one serving per day of preserved vegetables with fresh vegetables was related to 20%, 23%, and 37% lower prevalence of overall, small, and multiple polyps, respectively.

Conclusions

Preserved vegetable consumption was associated with a higher prevalence of colorectal polyps in a Chinese population at a high risk of CRC. Replacing preserved vegetables with fresh vegetables may be conducive to lower prevalent colorectal polyps.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
