(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-24)
      Little is known about the association of diet with risk of bladder cancer. This might be due to the fact that the majority of studies have focused on single food items, rather than dietary patterns, which may better capture any influence of diet on bladder cancer risk. We aimed to investigate the association between a measure of Western dietary pattern and bladder cancer risk. Associations between ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-25)
      Evidence on the effects of meat consumption from different sources on the risk of bladder cancer (BC) is limited and controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the associations between meat consumption and BC risk using a pooled data approach. Individual data from 11 prospective cohorts comprising 2848 BC cases and 515,697 non-cases with a total of 5,498,025 person-years of follow-up was ...
    • Dietary vitamin D intake and the bladder cancer risk: A pooled analysis of prospective cohort studies 

      Boot, Iris W.A.; Wesselius, Anke; Yu, Evan Y.W.; White, Emily; Brustad, Magritt; Marques, Chloé; Ljungberg, Borje; Zeegers, Maurice P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-22)
      Background & aims - Diet may play an essential role in the aetiology of bladder cancer (BC). Vitamin D is involved in various biological functions which have the potential to prevent BC development. Besides, vitamin D also influences the uptake of calcium and phosphorus, thereby possibly indirectly influencing the risk of BC. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relation between vitamin ...
    • Grain and dietary fiber intake and bladder cancer risk: a pooled analysis of prospective cohort studies 

      Yu, Evan Y W; Wesselius, Anke; Mehrkanoon, Siamak; Brinkman, Maree; van den Brandt, Piet; White, Emily; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Le Calvez-Kelm, Florence; Gunter, Marc; Huybrechts, Inge; Liedberg, Fredrik; Skeie, Guri; Tjonneland, Anne; Riboli, Elio; Giles, Graham; Milne, Roger L; Zeegers, Maurice P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-10)
      Background - Higher intakes of whole grains and dietary fiber have been associated with lower risk of insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and inflammation, which are known predisposing factors for cancer.<p> <p>Objectives - Because the evidence of association with bladder cancer (BC) is limited, we aimed to assess associations with BC risk for intakes of whole grains, refined grains, and dietary ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-06)
      Background: In 2012, more than 400,000 urinary bladder cancer cases occurred worldwide, making it the 7th most common type of cancer. Although many previous studies focused on the relationship between diet and bladder cancer, the evidence related to specific food items or nutrients that could be involved in the development of bladder cancer remains inconclusive. Dietary components can either be, ...
    • An inverse association between the Mediterranean diet and bladder cancer risk: a pooled analysis of 13 cohort studies 

      Witlox, Willem J.A.; van Osch, Frits H.M.; Brinkman, Maree; Jochems, Sylvia; Goossens, Maria E.; Weiderpass, Elisabete; White, Emily; van den Brandt, Piet A.; Giles, Graham G.; Milne, Roger L.; Huybrechts, Inge; Adami, Hans Olov; Bueno-de-Mesquita, Hendrik Bastiaan; Wesselius, Anke; Zeegers, Maurice P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-08)
      <i>Purpose</i> - The role of diet in bladder carcinogenesis has yet to be established. To date most studies have investigated dietary components individually, rather than as dietary patterns, which may provide stronger evidence for any influence of diet on bladder carcinogenesis. The Mediterranean diet has been associated with many health benefits, but few studies have investigated its association ...
    • Tea consumption and risk of bladder cancer in the Bladder Cancer Epidemiology and Nutritional Determinants (BLEND) Study: Pooled analysis of 12 international cohort studies

      Background & aims: Tea has been shown to be associated with reduced risk of several diseases including cardiovascular diseases, stroke, metabolic syndrome, and obesity. However, the results on the relationship between tea consumption and bladder cancer are conflicting. This research aimed to assess the association between tea consumption and risk of bladder cancer using a pooled analysis of prospective ...
