Abstract

The article discusses a study that evaluated the relationship of dietary fat intake with risks of women for nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Topics covered include assessment of women aged 50-79 years old in the postmenopausal stage with low-fat calorie intake of more fruits, vegetables and grains compared with the control group. Results showed that a low-fat diet intervention did not affect overall NMSC or melanoma incidence in women.
