Alcohol Intake and Colorectal Cancer Risk in the Multiethnic Cohort Study

Abstract: To investigate the association of alcohol intake with colorectal cancer risk by race/ethnicity as well as sex, lifestyle-related factors, alcoholic beverage type, and anatomical subsite, we analyzed data from 190,698 African Americans, Native Hawaiians, Japanese Americans, Latinos and whites in the Multiethnic Cohort Study, with 4,923 incident cases during a 16.7-year follow-up period (1993-2013). In multivariate Cox regression models, the hazard ratio (HR) was 1.16 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01, 1.34) f… Show more

“…In the United States, hardly anyone starts to smoke after age 50 years, which is similar to our minimum enrollment age of 45 years ( 9 ). Furthermore, we have previously demonstrated the internal validity of the smoking exposure variables ( 39–41 ) and associations with other lifestyle factors (dietary fiber intake, MHT, and alcohol consumption) and the CRC outcome ( 42 , 43 ). We had detailed information on, and were able to control for, the established risk factors for CRC, many of which vary according to smoking status.…”

“…This study confirmed alcohol consumption as a risk factor for colorectal cancer by investigating their association with one another according to ethnicity, sex, lifestyle components, and types of alcoholic drinks. The results showed that those who consumed more than 30g of alcohol a day increased risk to those who consumed 15-29.9g per day (Park et al, 2019). In addition, the findings stated that beer and wine consumption was directly related to increased colorectal cancer risk, except for liquor.…”
