Abstract

The article focuses on the use of dietary insulin load and insulin index scores to represent the insulin demand of overall diets and assessment of their association with endometrial cancer risk in the Nurses' Health Study. It mentions the estimation of incidence rate ratios (RR) and confidence intervals (CI) for risk of endometrial cancer using Cox proportional hazards models. It adds that intake of a diet was not associated with endometrial cancer risk.
