prospective cohort study - Am J Clin Nutr. 2007 Feb;85(2):497-503 -

combined (total intake) and of dietary alpha-carotene and beta-carotene were
associated with a lower risk of gastric cancer. The multivariate relative
risks for the highest versus lowest quartiles of intake were 0.53 (95% CI:
0.32, 0.89; P for trend = 0.02) for total vitamin A, 0.56 (95% CI: 0.33,
0.95; P for trend = 0.05) for total retinol, 0.50 (95% CI: 0.30, 0.83; P for
