This is a prospective cohort study in which the authors recruited participants from the EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition) study. The participants answered a questionnaire on lifestyle and diet, including a semiquantitative stomach ulcer food frequency questionnaire validated, referring to the consumption of the previous year.
47.033 men and women, divided into four diet groups based on the following dietary patterns were assessed: those who eat meat ("meat eaters"), those who do not eat meat but eat fish ("no meat but consumes fish" ), those who do not eat meat or fish but consume dairy and / or eggs ("vegetarians"), and those who do not eat meat, fish, eggs or dairy products ("vegans").
After follow-up of 11 years, there were 812 cases of diverticular disease, resulting stomach ulcer in 806 hospitalizations and six deaths. Vegetarians had a 31% lower risk of diverticular stomach ulcer disease compared with meat eaters. The probability of hospitalization or death from diverticular disease between the ages of 50 and 70 of the meat eaters stomach ulcer was 4.4%, while for vegetarians was 3.0%.
Regardless of dietary patterns, individuals who exhibited fiber intake 25 g / day had a 41% lower risk of developing diverticular disease compared with low fiber intake (<14 g / day for women and men). With this, the researchers found that both the vegetarian diet as a diet with high fiber intake are significantly associated with lower risk of diverticular disease.
"Our finding of a lower risk of diverticular disease among men and women with the highest fiber intake is consistent stomach ulcer with the results of other studies, but the results were still inconsistent. Thus, our study may clarify this issue, due to the number of participants stomach ulcer and follow-up, "the authors point out.
"These findings provide support for public stomach ulcer health recommendations that encourage the consumption of fiber-rich foods such as whole grain breads, whole grains, fruits and vegetables," they conclude.
