[Relation of fat consumption to colorectal cancer mortality in a Venezuelan population].

Abstract:

:Epidemiologic and experimental studies have pointed to an association between fat intake and colorectal carcinogenesis. In the present work we have studied the correlation between fat intake and mortality caused by colorectal cancer in the venezuelan population. For this purpose, we have calculated the correlation coefficients between the ingestion of total fat, visible fat (vegetable oil, margarine, butter, mayonnaise) as well as non-visible fat (that contained in other foods) and the mortality rate by colorectal cancer with data from nine venezuelan states and geographical regions. The highest lipid consumption and mortality rates were observed in the more developed states. There was a positive and significant correlation between total as well as visible fat consumption and colorectal cancer mortality (r = 0.756 p < 0.02, and r = 0.958, p < 0.001; respectively). In contrast, there was no significant correlation between the consumption of non visible fats and colorectal mortality (r = 0.543, p < 0.05). More than 80% of the visible fats ingested in Venezuela are constituted by vegetable oil and margarine, which contain a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Based on the above, is possible to infer that colorectal carcinogenesis in Venezuela is associated to the uptake of unsaturated fat, and that measures leading to the prevention of this disease should be based on the reduction in the consumption of total and unsaturated lipids.
