Diet and Risk of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms in Older Individuals from the NIH-AARP Cohort

[Manouche]

« Conclusions: The intake of fat and protein did not appear to influence PV risk—neither did meat or vegetable consumption. None of the dietary factors studied was associated with the risk of ET. The role of sugar intake in the etiology of PV in older individuals warrants further investigation.

Impact: Our results indicate that high sugar intake is associated with an increased risk of polycythemia vera. »

Thank you for this. I have ET and had to smile a little, my diet is generally good and nowadays mostly vegetarian. Typically my favourite foods have always been on the sweeter side of life!! Chocolate etc....😃
