INTRODUCTION: @entity263 (CaP) is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. There is evidence that @entity28 and inadequate eating habits may promote CaP development. OBJECTIVE: To analyze and compare the body mass index (BMI) and the food intake, especially fats and antioxidants, among subjects with CaP and those free of disease as a control group. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A sample of 40 @entity1 between 50 and 80 years old were selected for the study: 20 with CaP and 20 healthy @entity1 as control group. All volunteers underwent a digital rectal examination, @entity1486 level, ultrasound and transrectal prostate biopsy, and a nutritional interview where a dietary history and different anthropometric measurements were made. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student T test for independent samples (p < 0.05). RESULTS: BMI in the subjects with CaP was higher than in controls (29.8 kg/m2 vs. 27.96 kg/m2, p = 0.13) but not statistically significant. However, there was a direct correlation between BMI and @entity5 aggressiveness (r = 0.79, P < 0.001). Total, saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat intake was significantly higher in subjects with CaP; while @entity9539 , @entity620 and @entity14319 intake was significantly lower than in controls (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: A healthy weight and a diet low in total fat, saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat and rich in @entity9539 , @entity620 and @entity14319 is associated with a lower risk of CaP.
