No associations were observed in the exploratory analyses between the intake of total polyphenols, flavonoids and phenolic acids and the subtypes of EOC, including serous, endometrioid, mucinous, and clear cell tumours ( Table 3 ), although results were borderline significant for phenolic acid intake and serous EOC risk (HR Q4vsQ1 = 1.24, 95% CI 0.99–1.56; p -trend = 0.04).
