Abstract in brief

The study investigated the link between taking B vitamins, especially folic acid and vitamin B, through supplements and lung cancer risk in postmenopausal women, using data from the Women's Health Initiative involving over 159,000 women.
They found that women who took 50 mg/day of vitamin B had a 16% lower risk of developing lung cancer compared to women who did not take B vitamins, but there were no significant associations for folic acid or vitamin B alone.
The researchers suggest more studies are needed to confirm these findings before recommending B vitamin supplements for lung cancer prevention in women.]
