[A case-control study on the dietary factors of patients with acute pancreatitis].
OBJECTIVE
To explore association between dietary factor and acute pancreatitis (AP) so as to provide scientific basis for prevention of AP through healthful diet and life-style.


METHODS
100 AP patients were recruited from No. 1 Hospital affiliated to Sichuan University. Those participants in the control group 1 were from the same hospital, and those in the control group 2 were from a community. Controls were matched to cases for age (+/- 2.5) and sex. All of them were interviewed with uniform questionnaires. Conditional logistic regression was used for univariate and multivariate analysis.


RESULTS
The statistic analysis indicated that AP was significantly associated with less physical activity (OR = 1.3566), obesity (OR = 3.1600), irregular eating (OR = 2.9547), engorgement after hunger (OR = 1.9603), oftentimes eating meat (OR = 1.9333), high animal oil consumption (OR = 1.5652). High rice and flour consumption (OR = 0.6724), Oftentimes drink milk (OR = 0.7154) and high milk consumption (OR = 0.4313), oftentimes eating laminavia lamx (OR = 0.5924) and green vegetable (OR = 0.3288) were inversely associated with AP.


CONCLUSIONS
The study suggests that dietary factors may play an important role in AP.
