Association of plasma retinol levels with incident cancer risk in Chinese hypertensive adults: a nested case-control study.

In conclusion, there was a significant inverse dose-response association between plasma retinol and the risk of digestive system cancers. However, a U-shaped association was observed between plasma retinol and the risk of non-digestive cancers (with a turning point approximately 68·2 μg/dl).
