A total of 128 confirmed new cases of glioma and 256 age and sex-matched controls were included in the study. Participants’ diet was assessed by a validated food frequency questionnaire.
Researchers, from the Tehran University of Medical Sciences (Iran), observed that the individuals in the top category of legume and nuts consumption were 66% less likely to have glioma compared with those in the bottom category. So, an inverse association between legume and nut consumption and odds of glioma was found.
