abstract = "The analysis of dietary patterns has recently drawn considerable attention as a method of investigating the association between the overall whole diet and the risk of colorectal cancer. However, the results have yielded conflicting findings. Here, we carried out a meta-analysis to identify
the association between dietary patterns and the risk of colorectal cancer. A total of 40 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in this meta-analysis. The highest category of healthy dietary pattern compared with the lowest category was apparently associated
with a decreased risk for colorectal cancer [odds ratio (OR)=0.75; confidence interval (CI): 0.680.83; P<0.00001]. An increased risk of colorectal cancer was shown for the highest compared with the lowest category of a western-style dietary pattern (OR=1.40;
CI: 1.261.56; PP=0.003). The results of this meta-analysis indicate that a healthy
dietary pattern may decrease the risk of colorectal cancer, whereas western-style and alcohol-consumption patterns may increase the risk of colorectal cancer.",
