Abstract
This study evaluated the associations of whole grain and dietary fiber intake with liver cancer risk and chronic liver disease mortality using data from the National Institutes of Health-American Association of Retired Persons Diet and Health Study cohort (485,717 participants). Higher whole grain intake was associated with lower liver cancer risk (HR = 0.78) and chronic liver disease mortality (HR = 0.44). Dietary fiber was also associated with lower liver cancer risk (HR = 0.69) and chronic liver disease mortality (HR = 0.37). Fiber from vegetables, beans, and grains showed a protective effect.
