Fraction of cancer incidence and mortality attributable to dietary factors in Korea from 2015 to 2030
Our findings provide evidence that dietary factors make a substantial contribution to cancer incidence and mortality in Korea. This study highlights that reducing salted vegetable intake and encouraging a diet rich in non-starchy vegetables and fruits may support cancer prevention efforts. Continuous monitoring of dietary trends remains crucial for reducing the cancer burden.
