For example, a pro-inflammatory dietary pattern, associated with markers of inflammation (e.g., C-reactive protein), was associated with a 35% increased risk of premenopausal breast cancer among women in the highest quintile of a pro-inflammatory adolescent dietary pattern [4], while adolescent dietary patterns that captured an overall healthy diet (e.g., the Alternative Healthy Eating Index) were inversely associated with breast cancer risk [2]. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and breast cancer.
