Authors: Anne Grundy, Abbey Poirier, Farah Khandwala, Alison McFadden, Christine M. Friedenreich, Darren R. Brenner

This study examined the effects of insufficent fibre intake in the study population.

The study showed that 66-67% of men and 73-78% of women did not have enough fibre in their diets. As such, the attributable risk was 6.3-6.8% for men and 5.0-5.5% for women. It was found that an increase of fibre intake could reduce risks of cancer in Alberta populations.
