Estimated intake of dietary phyto-oestrogens in Australian women and evaluation of correlates of phyto-oestrogen intake

摘要: The role of dietary phyto-oestrogens in health has been continued interest and debate, but data available on the distribution intake Australian diet are scarce. Therefore, we aimed to estimate phyto-oestrogen consumption women, describe pattern identify correlates high intake. Study participants were 2078 control women (18–79 years) from two population-based case–control studies gynaecological cancers (2002–2007). Dietary information was obtained using a 135-item FFQ, intakes isoflavones, lignans, enterolignans coumestans, including their individual components, estimated database content food developed UK. Median total (energy-adjusted) 1·29 mg/d, 611 µg/d 639 µg/d 21 µg/d 8 µg/d coumestrol. Both isoflavone lignan strongly skewed towards higher values positively correlated with age. Women consumed average servings soyabean foods/week. Compared lower consumers (≤1·29 mg/d, median split), (>1·29 mg/d) slightly older, less likely be smokers, had educational physical activity level, BMI, fat, fibre, selected micronutrients foods (all P < 0·03). daily predominantly Caucasian ethnicity is approximately 1 mg; this similar other Western populations, considerably than that among Asian women. However, those relatively seem have healthier lifestyle more favourable profile compared others.
