1 Dietary glycemic load, added sugars, ad carbohydrates as risk factors for pacreatic cacer: the Multiethic Cohort Study 1 4 Ute Nöthligs, Suzae P Murphy, Lye R Wilkes, Bria E Hederso, ad Laurece N Koloel ABSTRACT Backgroud: Because elevated blood glucose cocetratios have bee show to be associated with greater risk of pacreatic cacer, a high dietary glycemic load, which is based o a empirical measure of blood glucose respose after food cosumptio, has bee hypothesized as a pacreatic cacer risk factor. However, results so far are scarce ad icosistet. Objective: We aalyzed data for participats i the Hawaii- Los Ageles Multiethic Cohort Study to ivestigate associatios betwee glycemic load, dietary carbohydrates, sucrose, fructose, total sugars, ad added sugars ad the risk of pacreatic cacer. Desig: Dietary itake was assessed at baselie by usig a quatitative food-frequecy questioaire. Durig 8 y of follow-up, 434 icidet pacreatic cacer cases occurred. Results: Glycemic load ad added sugars were ot sigificatly associated with pacreatic cacer risk. The risk icreased with higher itakes of total sugars, fructose, ad sucrose, ad the associatio with fructose was sigificat whe the highest ad lowest quartiles were compared (relative risk: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.80; P for tred 0.046). A sigificat associatio was foud with fruit ad juices itake (1.37; 1.02, 1.84; P for tred 0.04) but ot with soda itake. Statistical evidece of a sigificat iteractio with body mass idex was preset oly for sucrose itake (P 0.04). A compariso of the highest ad lowest quartiles of sucrose itake i overweight or obese participats gave a relative risk of 1.46 ( ; P for tred 0.04), but the compariso was ot sigificat i ormal-weight participats. Coclusios: High fructose ad sucrose itakes may play a role i pacreatic cacer etiology. Coditios such as overweight or obesity i which a degree of isuli resistace may be preset may also be importat. Am J Cli Nutr 2007;86: KEY WORDS Glycemic load, pacreatic cacer, added sugars, cohort studies, diet, soft driks INTRODUCTION Pacreatic cacer is the most fatal cacer i adults, with a 5-y survival rate of 5% (1). More tha ew pacreatic cacer cases were expected i the Uited States i 2006 (2). Because of the poor progosis ad the miimal effect of covetioal treatmet methods (3), it is importat to focus o prevetio of this disease. Cigarette smokig is the most importat etiologic factor yet idetified curret smokers have a pacreatic cacer risk approximately double that of osmokers (4). The risk attributable to smokig has bee estimated at 25% (5). Obesity ad a family history of pacreatic cacer have also bee associated with the disease (3, 6 13). Other risk factors iclude icreasig age, male sex, ad Native Hawaiia or Africa America race-ethicity (14). Dietary factors may also be importat. We recetly reported a positive associatio betwee the itakes of red meat ad processed meat ad pacreatic cacer i our cohort (15). Elevated fastig (16) ad postload (17) glucose cocetratios ad diabetes mellitus (18) have bee associated with greater risk of pacreatic cacer. The hypothesized mechaism ivolves isuli (19 21), ad this hypothesis has recetly bee supported by fidigs likig higher isuli cocetratios ad isuli resistace to pacreatic cacer risk (22). Postpradial blood glucose cocetratios are iflueced by food cosumptio. Differet foods cause differet absolute peaks i blood glucose ad differet rates of chage i blood glucose cocetratios durig the period after cosumptio (23). A empirical measure of blood glucose respose after cosumptio of a specific food, the glycemic idex (GI), has bee developed to classify foods accordig to their postpradial glycemic effects ad, hece, accordig to their effects o blood isuli cocetratios (24). Because the amout of carbohydrate i a diet is a major determiat of blood glucose cocetratios, the GI of a food item is multiplied by its carbohydrate cotet to derive the glycemic load (GL) per 100-g itake of the food. The GL of a diet ca the be calculated from the amouts ad types of foods cosumed. O the basis of the assumptio that glucose metabolism plays a role i the developmet of pacreatic cacer, we hypothesized that a high dietary GL is positively associated with the risk of pacreatic cacer. Both GI ad GL have bee ivestigated with respect to pacreatic cacer i 3 prospective studies (25 27), ad 1 From the Cacer Research Ceter of Hawaii, Uiversity of Hawaii, Hoolulu, HI (UN, SPM, LRW, ad LNK); the Uiversity of Souther Califoria, Los Ageles, CA (BEH); ad the Germa Istitute of Huma Nutritio Potsdam-Rehbruecke, Nuthetal, Germay (UN). 2 The cotets of this report are solely the resposibility of the authors ad do ot ecessarily represet the official views of the Natioal Cacer Istitute. 3 Supported by grat o.

2 1496 NÖTHLINGS ET AL the results have bee icosistet. Therefore, we aalyzed 8-y prospective data from the Multiethic Cohort Study to ivestigate associatios betwee dietary GL ad pacreatic cacer risk. Furthermore, we examied various carbohydrates ad sugars, especially added sugars, to fully ivestigate the associatios. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Study desig ad populatio The Multiethic Cohort Study i Hawaii ad Los Ageles was established to ivestigate lifestyle exposures, especially diet, i relatio to cacer outcomes. The desig of the Multiethic Cohort Study was detailed elsewhere (28). I brief, the cohort is composed of me ad wome who were y old at cohort creatio ad who were erolled i the study betwee 1993 ad Africa Americas, Japaese Americas, Latios, Native Hawaiias, ad whites were the 5 targeted racialethic groups. All study participats iitially completed a selfadmiistered questioaire icludig a detailed dietary assessmet ad sectios o body weight ad height, physical activity, smokig behavior, history of medical coditios, reproductive history, ad family history of cacer. We excluded study participats who did ot belog to 1 of the 5 targeted racial-ethic groups, those with implausible diets as described previously (15), those whose body mass idex (BMI; i kg/m 2 ) iformatio was missig or implausible (ie, 15 or 50), those with missig iformatio o smokig status or itesity or duratio of smokig, ad those with prevalet pacreatic cacer at cohort etry. We also excluded participats with self-reported prevalet diabetes mellitus because they may have reduced their cosumptio of added sugars ad carbohydrates. These exclusios left participats ( me ad wome) for this aalysis. As explaied i the ivitatio to participate, retur of a completed questioaire idicated a subject s writte iformed coset. The istitutioal review boards of the Uiversity of Hawaii ad the Uiversity of Souther Califoria approved the study proposal. Dietary assessmet The quatitative food-frequecy questioaire (FFQ) was especially desiged ad validated for use i this multiethic populatio (28, 29). I brief, food items for the quatitative FFQ were selected from 3-d measured dietary records i 60 subjects i each racial-ethic group. The miimum set of food items cotributig 85% of the itake of a specific list of utriets for each racial-ethic group was chose ad supplemeted by the iclusio of food items that were commo i the diet of each particular racial-ethic group. The quatitative FFQ asks about cosumptio frequecies ad portio sizes. I the quatitative FFQ calibratio study (29), average correlatio coefficiets for carbohydrate itake as a percetage of eergy itake were 0.57 for me ad 0.58 for wome betwee three 24-h recalls ad the quatitative FFQ. The Cacer Research Ceter of Hawaii food compositio table cotais both GL ad added sugars. GL values are calculated with the use of published GI values (23). Added sugars iclude all sugars used as igrediets i processed ad prepared foods, such as breads, cakes, soft driks, jam, ad ice cream, ad sugars eate separately or added to foods at the table (30). The food compositio table icludes a large recipe database ad may uique foods cosumed by a multiracial ad multiethic populatio. For FFQ items coverig 1 food, utriet profiles of the items were calculated by usig a weighted average of the specific foods based o the frequecy of use i the 24-h recalls obtaied as part of the calibratio study (29). Food mixtures were disaggregated ito their igrediets by usig a customized recipe database before food group itake was calculated. The itakes of total carbohydrates, sucrose, fructose, total sugars, added sugars, ad GL ad the itakes of odiet sodas, fruit ad juices, ad subgroups of citrus fruit ad yellow-orage fruit were aalyzed i this study. Case ascertaimet Icidet exocrie pacreatic cacer cases (ICD-02 codes C25.0-C25.3 ad C25.7-C25.9) were idetified by record likages to the Hawaii Tumor Registry, the Cacer Surveillace Program of Los Ageles Couty, ad the Califoria State Cacer Registry. All 3 registries are members of the Natioal Cacer Istitute s Surveillace, Epidemiology ad Ed Results Program. Case ascertaimet was complete through 31 December Likages to the Natioal Death Idex ad death certificate files i Hawaii ad Califoria provided iformatio o vital status ad causes of death. Statistical aalysis Differeces across quartiles of GL were tested with the Cochra-Armitage test for tred for categorical variables ad with the t test for slope i liear regressio models of mea values o GL for cotiuous variables. Cox proportioal hazards models usig age as the time metric were calculated to derive relative risks (RRs). Perso-times were determied by begiig with the date of cohort etry, defied as the date of questioaire completio, ad edig at the earliest of the followig dates: date of pacreatic cacer diagosis, date of death, or 31 December 2002, the closure date of the study. Tests based o Schoefeld residuals showed o evidece that proportioal hazards assumptios were violated for ay aalysis. We preset models icludig both sexes, because there was o evidece of iteractio by sex, after adjustmet for sex ad follow-up time o study from baselie ( 2 y, 2 5 y, or 5 y) as strata variables, to allow for differet baselie hazard rates. A separate aalysis suggested some differeces betwee RRs across 3 follow-up time strata, although the differeces were ot statistically sigificat (data ot show). Quartiles of utriet ad food itakes were based o the distributio of the variable i the overall cohort. Media values for quartiles by sex ad race-ethicity were used i the respective models to test for tred. Race-ethicity, age at cohort etry, smokig status, pack-years of smokig, family history of pacreatic cacer, eergy itake (logarithmically trasformed), itake of red ad processed meats, ad BMI were used as adjustmet factors i the disease risk models. The latter 3 factors have bee idetified i the Multiethic Cohort Study as risk factors for pacreatic cacer (15, 31). To reduce measuremet error i the dietary assessmets, utriets ad foods were aalyzed i terms of desities ie, by 100 or 1000 kcal/d. Our group (29) ad others (32) have show that correlatios with referece measuremets were higher for desities tha for absolute itake. Give the strog evidece for the
3 GLYCEMIC LOAD AND PANCREATIC CANCER RISK 1497 hypothesis of a differet associatio by overweight or obesity that ca be associated with isuli resistace (26, 33, 34), we also calculated all models separately for ormal-weight (BMI 25) or overweight or obese (BMI 25) participats. The likelihood ratio test was used to determie the sigificace of the iteractio betwee BMI ad mai exposure variables with respect to pacreatic cacer. The test compares a mai effects, o-iteractio model with a fully parameterized model cotaiig all possible iteractio terms for the variables of iterest. RESULTS Participat characteristics are give i Table 1. The percetage of me icreased across quartiles of dietary GL. Mea BMI was slightly elevated i the last quartile of GL oly. All dietary variables of iterest were positively associated with GL. Because all of these dietary variables are likely to be highly associated with each other, we calculated Spearma correlatio coefficiets betwee GL ad the itakes of total carbohydrates, sucrose, fructose, total sugars, ad added sugars. Correlatio coefficiets were 0.93, 0.40, 0.45, 0.46, ad 0.23, respectively, which idicates that the strogest correlate of GL was the itake of total carbohydrates. Durig follow-up, 434 icidet pacreatic cacer cases occurred i the cohort. GL was ot associated with pacreatic cacer risk i the overall cohort (Table 2). However, the RR for fructose was sigificatly elevated i the highest quartile (P for tred 0.046). Although the risks for the itakes of total sugars TABLE 1 Characteristics of participats i the Multiethic Cohort Study by quartile (Q) of dietary glycemic load 1 Q1 ( ) as well as sucrose were highest i the fourth quartile ad were suggestive of a associatio, either the poit estimates or the test for tred were sigificat. Because obesity ca be a determiat of isuli resistace, we stratified our aalysis to examie whether the effects of GL or carbohydrate itakes varied by BMI. Higher (but ot sigificatly higher) risks of pacreatic cacer were see i the overweight ad obese group (BMI 25) tha i the ormal-weight group (BMI 25) i the top quartiles of itakes of all dietary variables, ad there were stroger treds across quartiles (data ot show). However, a sigificat (P 0.04) iteractio was evidet for sucrose oly (Table 3). Amog overweight ad obese participats, the RR (95% CI) for the fourth quartile of sucrose itake compared with the first was 1.46 (0.95, 2.25; P for tred 0.04); amog ormal-weight participats, the respective values were 1.07 (0.71, 1.60; P for tred 0.85). The use of calibratio-adjusted utriet itakes gave similar results (data ot show). Additioal adjustmet for total physical activity did ot alter the fidigs, although a further stratificatio by level of physical activity amog the overweight or obese participats suggested a higher RR for those with a higher level of physical activity tha for those with a low level of physical activity (data ot show). Fruit ad juices combied were the largest cotributor to fructose itake i the cohort, followed by odiet sodas. To cofirm our fidigs for fructose, we aalyzed the itakes of several food groups soda, fruit juices, total fruit, citrus fruit, ad yelloworage fruit i disease risk models (Table 4).

Multivariate adjustmet for race-ethicity, age at cohort etry, smokig status, pack-years of smokig, family history of pacreatic cacer, eergy itake (log-trasformed), itakes of red meat ad processed meat, ad BMI. Quartiles were based o the distributio of each variable i the etire cohort. 2 Media values for the overall quartiles i each sex ad racial-ethic group were aalyzed as a cotiuous variable i the respective model to test for tred. 3 Free moosaccharide. itake of fruit ad juices ad the itake of fruit aloe were associated with a 37 42% icrease i the risk of pacreatic cacer i the overall cohort. Amog overweight or obese participats, total fruit ad juice itake was associated with a 51% higher risk, but weaker associatios were see whe fruit ad fruit juices were separated (data ot show). Whe total fruit itake was divided ito citrus fruit or yellow-orage fruit, the itake of yelloworage fruit was positively associated with pacreatic cacer risk amog ormal-weight participats. However, o statistical evidece of a iteractio of ay fruit or juice variable with BMI was preset. A high itake of regular sodas was ot associated with pacreatic cacer risk i the overall cohort or i the subgroup of obese or overweight participats. To determie whether the associatio was limited to fruit, we also ivestigated joitly the treds for fructose from fruit, soda, ad other sources. All treds were positive ad osigificat. Therefore, the associatio with fruit may be due to the fructose cotet of fruit or aother factor. Because smokig is the most well-established risk factor for pacreatic cacer, we stratified our aalysis accordig to smokig status. Overall, there was little evidece of effect modificatio by smokig status (ever, former, or curret), although the greater risk associated with fruit itake was most apparet amog ever smokers (data ot show). DISCUSSION I the Multiethic Cohort Study, high sugar itake specifically, fructose itake was associated with a greater risk of pacreatic cacer. This associatio was ot reflected i the cosumptio of sodas, but we did observe a greater risk with a higher itake of fruit ad juices. Statistical evidece for a iteractio of sucrose itake with BMI was preset, ad it showed a higher risk of pacreatic cacer i overweight or obese study participats with higher sucrose cosumptio. To date, 4 prospective studies have ivestigated dietary GL ad various carbohydrates i relatio to pacreatic cacer risk (25 27, 35). Two of these studies foud o associatio for GL, GI, total carbohydrates, total sugar, sucrose, or fructose (25, 27), ad oe study foud a greater risk with higher dietary GL, GI, ad fructose itake i sedetary wome with a BMI 25, but ot i the overall cohort (26). I the preset study, fructose itake was associated with the highest risk of pacreatic cacer. A subsequet aalysis of high cosumptio of soft driks i this same study populatio showed sigificatly greater risks i wome but ot i me (33). The preset study also foud a positive associatio betwee fructose itake ad pacreatic cacer risk, but we did ot see a greater risk with higher itake of sodas; these results did ot differ sigificatly betwee me ad wome. A sigificat iverse associatio with the itake of carbohydrates was reported amog smokers i Filad i the fourth prospective study (35). A recet prospective study i Swede reported high cosumptio of sugar added to coffee, tea, cereals ad other foods, ad soft driks to be sigificatly associated with a greater risk of pacreatic cacer (36), but the study did ot cofirm a effect modificatio by BMI or physical activity. Our results supported a modifyig effect of BMI o the associatio betwee the itake of sucrose ad pacreatic cacer risk; the associatio was positive i overweight ad obese participats, but there was o sigificat associatio i ormal-weight participats. We previously reported that physical activity was ot associated with pacreatic cacer i the Multiethic Cohort Study (31), ad stratificatio o this variable did ot support the hypothesis that low physical activity associated with a high BMI will lead to a eve larger RR. I fact, the opposite was true the RRs were greater i overweight or obese participats with higher physical activity. Differeces i eergy metabolism may explai this observatio,

Models were cotrolled for sex ad time o study ( 2y, 2 5 y, or 5 y) as strata variables. Multivariate adjustmet for race-ethicity, age at cohort etry, smokig status, pack-years of smokig, family history of pacreatic cacer, eergy itake (log-trasformed), itakes of red meat ad processed meat, ad BMI. The BMI sucrose iteractio was sigificat, P Media values for the overall quartiles i each sex ad racial-ethic group were aalyzed as a cotiuous variable i the respective model to test for tred. ad, if that observatio is cofirmed i other studies, more detailed ivestigatios should be udertake. The fidig of a greater risk with higher fruit ad juices itake was surprisig, ad it merits some discussio. Fruit, most ofte i combiatio with vegetables, geerally is thought to have beeficial effects i terms of cacer prevetio at various sites, icludig the pacreas (37). To date, 7 prospective studies have reported o fruit itake ad pacreatic cacer risk, ad oe detected a sigificat associatio, either positive or iverse (10, 35, 38 42). A recet study from Swede icluded 135 pacreatic cacer cases i a cohort of me ad wome (38). Whe the highest ad lowest quartiles were compared, overall fruit itake was ot sigificatly associated with pacreatic cacer risk (RR: 1.10; 95% CI: 0.64, 1.88), or was citrus fruit itake. Participats i the highest quartile cosumed 2.5 servigs of fruit/d. A study i Fiish smokers foud a osigificat RR of 0.85 for the highest cosumptio of all fruit ad berries i a aalysis of 163 cases ad ocases (35). Media cosumptio for cases ad ocases was 100 g/d. Four studies with mortality as the outcome did ot fid ay associatios (39 42). Oe of these studies (39) icluded the largest umber of pacreatic cacer deaths thus far ( 3751), although the dietary assessmet was very limited ad icluded oly oe questio about cosumptio of citrus fruit or juices. Our study, i cotrast to these previously published studies, examied the largest umber of icidet pacreatic cacer cases by usig a comprehesive ad detailed dietary assessmet, which eabled us to detect statistically sigificat associatios of smaller magitude. Because the itake of fruit ad juices combied is the largest cotributor to fructose itake i our cohort, the icrease i risk with high fruit itake may be explaied by fructose ad total sugars, both of which are highly correlated with fruit itake (0.69 ad 0.65, respectively). However, models with fructose separated by sources showed similar associatios for all sources. A effect of fruit other tha through sugars, therefore, caot be ruled out at this poit. Furthermore, although the ull associatio with soda does ot seem to support this cojecture, uderreportig of the itake of low-utriet-desity beverages such as soda may atteuate the true associatio (43). The hypothesized mechaism likig a impaired glucose metabolism or diabetes mellitus to pacreatic cacer ivolves isuli. Isuli ca promote tumor developmet by ihibitig apoptosis ad stimulatig cell proliferatio, ad it has bee argued that isuli acts as a promoter for pacreatic carciogeesis (19 21). Our fidigs support this hypothesis to some extet, because slightly elevated risks, especially those with sucrose, were see i overweight or obese participats who may already have a uderlyig degree of isuli resistace (21). We reported a higher pacreatic cacer risk i obese me but ot i obese wome i the Multiethic Cohort Study, ad evidece i the literature for a positive associatio betwee BMI ad pacreatic cacer risk is fairly cosistet (31). As discussed i the literature, the GI is a cotroversial cocept (44). It has bee poited out that the GIs of foods vary by types, by processig or preparatio, ad by combiatios of foods cosumed together, which reders the actual determiatio of a GI value for a specific food difficult. I additio, the glycemic respose after igestio of a food does ot ecessarily predict the isuli respose (44). Most importat for our study, it has bee debated whether the GI or GL is accurate whe usig dietary itakes collected with a FFQ, because some questioaire items may group foods with differig GL values (44). However, the quatitative FFQ used for the Multiethic Cohort Study is legthy (almost 200 items) ad thus less likely tha most to group dissimilar foods. I our study, we used GL rather tha GI because the blood glucose respose after igestio of a food is determied by both its carbohydrate cotet ad its GI, ad GL combies the 2. We further explored the relatios betwee variables by calculatig correlatio coefficiets. Ideed, the correlatio betwee GL ad carbohydrate itake was very high ( 0.9), ad we foud almost idetical RRs for pacreatic cacer. We suggest that dietary GL i geeral may ot add importat ew iformatio about the quality of carbohydrates i the diet of our cohort participats. Several limitatios have to be take ito accout i iterpretig this aalysis. Our populatio was from Hawaii ad Califoria oly. However, the study was populatio-based i desig to maximize geeralizability to the US populatio (28). Furthermore, dietary measuremet error is certaily preset i our data. However, we attempted to miimize the error by aalyzig utriets ad foods as desities ie, per 100 or 1000 kcal/d (29). Fially, GI values have ot bee determied for may local food products, ad values had to be estimated from similar foods.

Multivariate adjustmet for race-ethicity, age at cohort etry, smokig status, pack-years of smokig, family history of pacreatic cacer, eergy itake (log-trasformed), itakes of red meat ad processed meat, ad BMI. Quartiles were based o the distributio of each variable i the etire cohort. 2 Media values for the overall quartiles i each sex ad ethic group were aalyzed as a cotiuous variable i the respective model to test for tred. Because of the rapid fatality of pacreatic cacer, case-cotrol studies have geerally relied heavily o proxy iterviews. Recall bias, which is already a problem i case-cotrol studies, is of eve more cocer i the case of proxy iterviews. Hece, results from case-cotrol studies of pacreatic cacer must be iterpreted with great cautio. I cotrast, the relatively low icidece rate of pacreatic cacer leads to low umbers of cases i prospective studies uless the observatio period is log. I additio to the large sample size, the heterogeeity of participats i the Multiethic Cohort Study ad therefore the variability i dietary itake is a stregth of the preset study, because it facilitates the detectio of meaigful associatios. Our FFQ was especially desiged for the study populatio, ad it was comprehesive, which allowed us to adjust for eergy itake. I coclusio, the preset study adds to the evidece that itakes of fructose ad sucrose play a role i the developmet of pacreatic cacer. The stroger associatio with a high itake of sucrose i those who were overweight or obese implies that such coditios, i which a uderlyig degree of isuli resistace may be preset, are also importat. We foud some evidece for a greater pacreatic cacer risk with a high itake of fruit ad juices but ot with a high itake of sodas.
