[Dietetic factors characterizing food habits of patients with acute leukemia]

The selected dietary factors have been environmentally studied in 119 adult patients with acute leukemias using the case control study method. It has been demonstrated that the diet of patients with acute leukemias prior the disease occurrence differed quantitatively and qualitatively from that of healthy subjects of the control groups. The acute leukemia risk is elevated in subjects characterized by rare consumption of hole-meal bread, the rare consumption of raw vegetables, the frequent milk drinking, the frequent consumption of poultry and the excessive consumption of food in general as well as drinking the soft water.
