Nutrient profiling systems are powerful tools for public health initiatives, as they aim at categorising foods according to their nutritional quality. The British Food Standards Agency (FSA) nutrient profiling system (FSA score) has been validated in a British food database, but the application of the model in other contexts has not yet been evaluated. The objective of the present study was to assess the application of the British FSA score in a French food composition database. Foods from the French NutriNet-Santé study food composition table were categorised according to their FSA score using the Office of Communication (OfCom) cut-off value ('healthier' ≤ 4 for foods and ≤ 1 for beverages; 'less healthy' >4 for foods and >1 for beverages) and distribution cut-offs (quintiles for foods, quartiles for beverages). Foods were also categorised according to the food groups used for the French Programme National Nutrition Santé (PNNS) recommendations. Foods were weighted according to their relative consumption in a sample drawn from the NutriNet-Santé study (n 4225), representative of the French population. Classification of foods according to the OfCom cut-offs was consistent with food groups described in the PNNS: 97·8 % of fruit and vegetables, 90·4 % of cereals and potatoes and only 3·8 % of sugary snacks were considered as 'healthier'. Moreover, variability in the FSA score allowed for a discrimination between subcategories in the same food group, confirming the possibility of using the FSA score as a multiple category system, for example as a basis for front-of-pack nutrition labelling. Application of the FSA score in the French context would adequately complement current public health recommendations.

Contexte : Differentes hypotheses mecanistiques suggerent un potentiel effet benefique de la consommation de fibres sur le developpement du cancer du sein. Les mecanismes proposes impliquent notamment la modulation de l'activite des insulin-like growth factors, du metabolisme des estrogenes ou encore de l'inflammation. Quelques etudes epidemiologiques ont montre un lien entre consommation de fibres et risque de cancer du sein mais les resultats restent a ce jour contrastes. Par ailleurs, il existe peu d'informations disponibles quant aux differents types de fibres. Objectif : Cette etude avait pour objectif de s'interesser au lien prospectif entre consommation de fibres et risque de cancer du sein en prenant en compte differents types de fibres (totales, insolubles, solubles et provenant de differentes sources alimentaires : cereales, legumes, fruits et legumineuses). Sujets/Methodes : Pour cette analyse, ont ete incluses 4684 femmes issues de la cohorte Su.Vi.Max et ayant complete correctement au moins 3 enregistrements de 24h au cours des deux premieres annees de suivi. Parmi celles-ci 167 cas incidents de cancers du sein invasifs ont ete diagnostiques entre 1994 et 2007 au cours d'un suivi median de 12,6 ans. Les associations entre quartiles de consommation de fibres et risque de cancer du sein ont ete estimees grâce a un modele de Cox multivarie a risques proportionnels. Resultats : Dans cette etude, la consommation de fibres totales n'etait pas associee avec le risque de cancer du sein (HRQuartile4vs.Quartile1=1,29 (IC95% 0,66-2,50), P-tendance=0,5). De meme, ni la consommation de fibres de cereales (P=0,1), de fruits (P=0,9) ou de legumineuses (P=0,3) n'etaient associees au risque. La consommation de fibres provenant des legumes etait quant a elle associee avec une reduction du risque de cancer du sein (HRQ4vs.Q1=0,50 (0,29-0,88), P-tendance=0,03) contrairement a la consommation globale de legumes (en g/jour) (P-tendance=0,2). Conclusion : Les resultats de cette etude prospective, en coherence avec des donnees mecanistiques experimentales, suggerent que la consommation de fibres provenant des legumes pourrait contribuer a reduire le risque de cancer du sein.
