Abstract: To examine the relation of the total intake of fluids and the
types of beverages to the risk of bladder cancer, we conducted a
hospital based case-control study with 130 newly diagnosed bladder
cancer patients and the same number of matched controls.
Information of total fluid intake was derived from the reported
frequency of consumption of the different types of beverages on
the food frequency questionnaire. Univariate and multivariate
logistic regression analyses were performed in statistical
analysis. There was no statistically significant difference
between the cases and the controls in total daily fluid intake.
Multivariate logistic regression model showed consumption of: soda
(OR=8.32; 95%CI=3.18-21.76), coffee (OR=1.46; 95%CI=1.05-2.01) and
spirits (OR=1.15; 95%CI=1.04-1.28) as statistically significant
risk factors, while mineral water (OR=0.52; 95%CI=0.34-0.79), skim
milk (OR=0.38; 95%CI=0.16-0.91), yogurt (OR=0.34; 95%CI=0.12-0.97)
and frequency of daily urination (OR=0.27; 95%CI=0.18-0.41) were
statistically significant protective variables. In our study no
statistically significant association was observed for total fluid
intake. The findings suggest consumption of soda, coffee and
spirits were indicated as a risk factors for bladder cancer, while
mineral water, skim milk, yogurt and frequency of urination as
protective factors for bladder cancer.
