The researchers found that a high cholesterol intake the chance of getting alveesklierkanker among Americans significantly with 30.2% [RR = 1.302, 95% CI = 1,175-1,568] increased.
The researchers found that every 100 mg cholesterol per day, the chance of getting alveesklierkanker significantly with 8% [RR = 1.08, 95% CI = 1.04-1.13] increased.
