Abstract

To investigate possible relationships between diet and risk for bladder cancer in Serbia, the hospital-based case-control study was carried out. This study included 130 newly diagnosed bladder cancer patients and the same number of controls matched by sex, age (%+/-%2 years) and type of residence (rural or urban). Dietary information was obtained by using a food frequency questionnaire. Initial case-control comparisons were based on tertiles of average daily intake of control group. The odds ratios (ORs) were computed for each tertile, with the lowest tertile defined as the referent category. All variables (food items) significantly related to bladder cancer were included in multivariable logistic regression analysis. According to this analysis, risk factors for bladder cancer appeared to be consumption of liver (OR=6.60, 95%CI=1.89-23.03), eggs (OR=3.12, 95%CI=1.10-8.80), pork (OR=2.99, 95%CI=1.16-7.72), and pickled vegetable (OR=3.25, 95%CI=1.36-7.71). A protective effect was found for dietary intake of kale (OR=0.21, 95%CI=0.06-0.73), cereals (OR=0.19, 95%CI=0.06-0.62), tangerines (OR=0.21, 95%CI=0.07-0.68), cabbage (OR=0.27, 95% CI=0.11-0.68), and carrots (OR=0.15, 95%CI=0.05-0.41). The study indicated a potentially important role for dietary fat and pickled vegetables in bladder carcinogenesis. An inverse association was recorded between consumption of fruits, vegetables and cereals, and the development of bladder cancer.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 May 2021.
All research outputs
#4,369,647
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Geriatric Nephrology and Urology
#141
of 1,493 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,724
of 68,189 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Geriatric Nephrology and Urology
#2
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,493 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 68,189 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
