(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-03)
      Adult height and sitting height may reflect genetic and environmental factors, including early life nutrition, physical and social environments. Previous studies have reported divergent associations for height and chronic disease mortality, with positive associations observed for cancer mortality but inverse associations for circulatory disease mortality. Sitting height might be more strongly ...

      Objective - The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations among the intake of total polyphenols, polyphenol classes, and polyphenol subclasses and body weight change over 5 years.<p> <p>Methods - A total of 349,165 men and women aged 25 to 70 years were recruited in the Physical Activity, Nutrition, Alcohol, Cessation of Smoking, Eating Out of Home and Obesity (PANACEA) project of the ...

      Polyphenols are bioactive compounds from plants with antioxidant properties that may have a protective role against body weight gain, with adipose tissue and systemic oxidative stress as potential targets. We aimed to investigate the dietary intake of individual polyphenols and their association with 5-year body weight change in a sub-cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and ...
    • Excess body weight, weight gain and obesity-related cancer risk in women in Norway: the Norwegian Women and Cancer study 

      da Silva, Marisa Eleonor; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Licaj, Idlir; Lissner, Lauren; Rylander, Charlotta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018-09-11)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Excess body weight and weight gain have been reported to independently increase the risk of several cancers. There are few published studies in nationally representative populations of women on specific, ‘obesity-related’ cancers in relation to prior weight change and relevant confounders.</p> <p><i>Methods</i>: Based on self-reported anthropometry, we prospectively assessed ...
    • Factors Associated with High Weight Gain and Obesity Duration: The Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) Study 

      da Silva, Marisa Eleonor; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Licaj, Idlir; Rylander, Charlotta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-12)
      <i>Aim:</i> To identify factors associated with high weight gain and obesity duration in a representative sample of Norwegian women.<p> <p><i>Methods</i>: 66,618 Norwegian women aged 34–70 years at baseline were included in the analysis. Baseline and follow-up questionnaires completed in 1991–2011 provided information on height, weight as well as sociodemographic, lifestyle and reproductive ...

    • Preventable fractions of cancer incidence attributable to 7-years weight gain in the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) study 

      da Silva, Marisa Eleonor; Laaksonen, Maarit A.; Lissner, Lauren; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Rylander, Charlotta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-15)
      There is a lack of tangible measures for directed public health action to halt the increase in weight and cancer. We estimated the fraction and preventable cases of all and major body fatness-related cancers attributable to 7-years weight gain (≥ 2 kg). We assessed validated self-reported anthropometrics from 44,114 women aged 34–49 years at the enrolment in 1991–1992 and from a second questionnaire ...
    • Weight change and cancer 

      da Silva, Marisa Eleonor (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-05-25)
      <p><i>Background: </i>The obesity prevalence has reached pandemic dimensions. The cancer incidence has also increased worldwide, and several cancers are related to body fatness. However, there are uncertainties weather the velocity and magnitude of weight gain, independent of body fatness, increase cancer risk. Moreover, there are few studies on short-term weight gain and site-specific cancers. Thus, ...
