However, most of these studies were performed in mainly White populations, limiting our understanding of dairy and CRC risk in other races and ethnicities. We examined associations between dairy intake and CRC risk in 192,644 participants across five racial and ethnic groups from the Multiethnic Cohort (MEC) Study. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire, and Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the associations of dairy products, milk, lactose, calcium, and vitamin D with CRC risk. Analyses were further stratified by race and ethnicity, sex, and tumor subsite. Over an average follow\u2010up of 20\u2009years, 5743 CRC cases were identified. Higher intakes of total dairy products (hazard ratios [HR]\n                    <jats:sub>Q5vsQ1<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.85, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.77\u20130.93,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>trend<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.001) and milk (HR\n                    <jats:sub>Q5vsQ1<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.82, 95% CI 0.75\u20130.90,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>trend<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009&lt;.001) were associated with reduced CRC risk.

Stratified analyses revealed stronger benefits from dairy and milk consumption among Latino participants. Tumor site analyses indicated notably stronger protection against cancers in the colon, particularly the left colon. Our findings support a protective role of dairy products and their key nutrients against CRC across diverse racial and ethnic populations. These results underscore the potential importance of dairy consumption in CRC prevention and call for further research into the biological mechanisms underlying these associations.\n
