NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study: Impact of Diet and Lifestyle Factors on Cance...
A history of diabetes is associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer, and high levels of routine physical activity strengthen this relationship. These were the findings of the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study, which collected data on 328,216 men ages 50-71. During 5 years of follow-up, 11,193 prostate cancer cases were ascertained. The inverse relationship between diabetes and cancer was similar for organ-confined and advanced prostate cancer.

After studying the multivitamin consumption and nutritional habits of 295,344 men ages 50-71, the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study found that: Regular multivitamin use was unrelated to overall risk of total and organ-confined prostate cancer Those who took multivitamins more than 7 times per week were at an increased risk of advanced and fatal prostate cancer compared with never users
Supplemental vitamin E does not protect against prostate cancer, but increased consumption of vitamin E from foods is associated with a reduced risk of the disease, according to a study that analyzed data from the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study for 295,344 men ages 50-71. With over 10,000 incident prostate cancer cases, including 1,476 advanced cases, this is the largest prospective study to date to examine the role of vitamin E in prostate cancer prevention.
