Item Association between Cervical Cancer and Dietary Patterns in Colombia(2023-12) Meneses Urrea, Luz Adriana; Vaquero Abellán, Manuel; Villegas Arenas, Dolly; Benachi Sandoval, Narly; Hernández Carrillo, Mauricio; Molina Recio, GuillermoCervical cancer is a global public health problem. It is the second leading cause of death among women of childbearing age worldwide. Several factors, including diet, have been shown to influence the risk of persistent HPV infection and tumor progression. This paper determines the relationship between dietary patterns and cervical cancer. It is an ecological study of multiple groups, based on twonational sources: the High-Cost Account and the National Survey of Nutritional Situation of Colombia of 2015. The population consisted of 3472 women aged 35 to 64. The incidence of cervical cancer was used as the dependent variable while the independent variables included food consumption according to established patterns, area of residence, age, physical activity, and BMI, among other variables. The statistical analysis performed through associations between variables was evaluated by multiple linear regression using R2. 38.9% of the evaluated population belonged to the first quartile of wealth, and 76.5% resided in the municipal capital. The incidence of cervical cancer in Colombia was associated with being affiliated to a state-subsidized health regime and having diabetes mellitus. A conservative eating pattern, as well as belonging to a rural area, are evidenced as protective factors. These results invite the need to encourage public policies and promote healthy lifestyles.Item Colorectal and gastric cancer and its association with dietary patterns in Colombia(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Meneses Urrea, Luz Adriana; Vaquero Abellán, Manuel; Villegas Arenas, Dolly; Benachi Sandoval, Narly; Hernández Carrillo, Mauricio; Molina Recio, GuillermoIntroduction: Cancer is a leading cause of death in the Americas. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer, while stomach cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. Tobacco and alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and air pollution are risk factors for these cancers. This study aimed to identify the association between dietary patterns and gastric and colorectal cancer. Methodology: A multi-cluster ecological study, using as secondary sources two national databases, the HIGIA (High-Cost Account) and the ENSIN 2015 (National Survey of Nutritional Status of Colombia 2015), was carried out. The population consisted of 2585 people over 50 years of age, distributed in six regions of Colombia: Atlántica, Central, Oriental, Pacífica, Amazonía-Orinoquía, and Bogotá. Multiple linear regression was performed using R2 to measure goodness of fit to estimate the effect between colorectal cancer incidence rate/gastric cancer incidence rate and exposure factors. Results: A positive association was observed between colorectal cancer and non-compliance with the recommendation of vigorous physical activity (p = 0.00) and consumption of beverages/grilled food pattern (p = 0.001). Conversely, it decreased incidence by enjoying some specific health insurance and following a conservative dietary pattern (p = 0.05). Gastric cancer incidence was found to increase with age (p = 0.000), sex (p = 0.001), and consumption of the beverages/grilled food pattern (p = 0.006). However, being in the first wealth quartile decreased the incidence (p = 0.002). Conclusion: There is evidence of an association between diet, physical activity and wealth quartile with colorectal and gastric cancer. This information should be considered for preventive interventions in the population.
