Adherence to a Mediterranean-Style Dietary Pattern and Cancer Risk in a Prospective Cohort Study

A Mediterranean-style diet is a healthy eating pattern that may benefit cancer risk, but evidence among Americans is scarce. We examined the prospective association between adherence to such a diet pattern and total cancer risk. A Mediterranean-style dietary pattern (MSDP) score was derived from a s...

Adherence to a Mediterranean-Style Dietary Pattern and Cancer Risk in a Prospective Cohort Study
description A Mediterranean-style diet is a healthy eating pattern that may benefit cancer risk, but evidence among Americans is scarce.
