Globally, gastrointestinal (GI) cancers account for about 27% of newly diagnosed cancer cases and 37% of cancer deaths. 1 Intriguingly, there has been an upward trend in the incidence of several GI cancers (gastric noncardia, pancreatic, and colorectal cancer) among adults younger than 50 or 55 years over the past several decades. 2 Alcohol drinking, a pervasive behavior across the globe and a causal risk factor for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, liver cancer, and colorectal cancer, is also gaining recognition as a potential risk factor for gastric, pancreatic, and gallbladder cancers. 3 Most studies have focused on the amount of alcohol, often highlighting the dose–response relationship 4; there are scarce data exploring the effect of timing of drinking on GI cancer. Recently, skipping meals before drinking has been gaining popularity among young adults to save calories and avoid weight gain. However, the independent impact of such contemporary drinking patterns on the risk of GI cancers, especially those of early onset, has not been investigated.We prospectively evaluated the association between drinking without meals and risk of GI cancers among 347,591 current drinkers in the UK Biobank (2006–2021), a well-established longitudinal cohort with detailed assessment on the total amount of alcohol intake and drinking pattern relative to mealtimes. We also examined the associations by age of diagnosis (earlier-onset [< 55 years] vs later-onset [≥ 55 years]). Cox models were used to estimate relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Detailed methods are provided in the Supplementary Materials.
