Abstract Background Since Fuchs' report in 1999, the reported protective effect of dietary fiber from colorectal carcinogenesis has led many researchers to question its real benefit. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between diet, especially dietary fiber and fat and colorectal cancer in Japan. Methods A multiple regression analysis (using the stepwise variable selection method) was performed using the standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) of colon and rectal cancer in 23 Japanese prefectures as objective variables and dietary fiber, nutrients and food groups as explanatory variables. Results As for colon cancer, the standardized partial correlation coefficients were positively significant for fat (1,13, <it>P</it> = 0.000), seaweeds (0.41, <it>P</it> = 0.026) and beans (0.45, <it>P</it> = 0.017) and were negatively significant for vitamin A (-0.63, <it>P</it> = 0.003), vitamin C (-0.42, <it>P</it> = 0.019) and yellow-green vegetables (-0.37, <it>P</it> = 0.046). For rectal cancer, the standardized partial correlation coefficient in fat (0.60, <it>P</it> = 0.002) was positively significant. Dietary fiber was not found to have a significant relationship with either colon or rectal cancers. Conclusions This study failed to show any protective effect of dietary fiber in subjects with a low fat intake (Japanese) in this analysis, which supports Fuchs' findings in subjects with a high fat intake (US Americans).</p
