摘要
A large sample crosssectional survey was conducted to draw the possible relationship between green tea drinking and the mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). The results showed that the tea drinking rate and tea consumption in various male populations had significant negative relationship with the death rate of HCC, and the correlation coefficients were -0.92 and -0.91 respectively. The accumulative death rate of HCC was 120.05 per 100 000 in teadrinking population and 245.53 per 100 000 in nontea drinking population. The same results were observed after adjusting the confounding factors such as tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking by using stratified analysis method. The paper suggested that tea drinking may have cancerpreventive and carcinogenesis inhibition effect.
