Area of focus | Points |
---|---|
Study design | Longitudinal studies with sufficient statistical power are required to examine the temporal associations between diet and cancer risk |
Cancer type | Further studies on anatomical sites with a substantial burden of disease that have been understudied in relation to dietary factors are suggested (e.g., lung, prostate, and liver) [2] |
Confounder | Studies controlling for the major confounders with respect to specific cancer types should be considered |
Attributable risk | To estimate the attributable risk of diet on cancer in Korean population, combining cohort studies that share dietary assessment methods and conducting pooled analyses are advised when examining diet-cancer associations to further estimate the cancer burden attributable to dietary factors |
Life-course perspective | To consider the time-varying nature of nutrition, considering the role of diet during the early-life period, analyzing dietary pattern methods, and utilizing repeated measures of dietary assessment or recovery biomarkers of nutritional status are suggested [95] |
Biological mechanism | To elucidate the biological mechanisms in diet-cancer research, further investigations of molecular subtypes of cancer and the interaction between diet and exposomes (e.g., environment, genomics, metabolomics, or gut microbiota profiles) are warranted [95] |

Area of focus | Points |
---|---|
Study design | Longitudinal studies with sufficient statistical power are required to examine the temporal associations between diet and cancer risk |
Cancer type | Further studies on anatomical sites with a substantial burden of disease that have been understudied in relation to dietary factors are suggested (e.g., lung, prostate, and liver) [2] |
Confounder | Studies controlling for the major confounders with respect to specific cancer types should be considered |
Attributable risk | To estimate the attributable risk of diet on cancer in Korean population, combining cohort studies that share dietary assessment methods and conducting pooled analyses are advised when examining diet-cancer associations to further estimate the cancer burden attributable to dietary factors |
Life-course perspective | To consider the time-varying nature of nutrition, considering the role of diet during the early-life period, analyzing dietary pattern methods, and utilizing repeated measures of dietary assessment or recovery biomarkers of nutritional status are suggested [95] |
Biological mechanism | To elucidate the biological mechanisms in diet-cancer research, further investigations of molecular subtypes of cancer and the interaction between diet and exposomes (e.g., environment, genomics, metabolomics, or gut microbiota profiles) are warranted [95] |
