Cervical Cancer (CeCa) is a public health problem worldwide. The natural history of the disease goes through different degrees of cervical intraepithelial neoplasms that modulate its transformation, depending on various co-factors related to the eating habits of patients, overweight and obesity, the consumption of food supplements and the intake of light products. The objective of this article is to identify those nutritional co-factors associated with the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in women from the city of San Luis Potosí, through the study of cases (100) and controls (300) of patients diagnosed with different grades of CIN by colposcopy, in addition to this, a validated questionnaire was applied, descriptive and inferential statistics were carried out, as well as the calculation of Odds Ratio (OR). The results indicate that the nutritional co-factors identified with a statistical significance were the intake of light and green tea soft drinks, as they are linked to the appearance of cervical intraepithelial neoplasm.
