Biomarkers of folate and vitamin B12 and breast cancer risk: report from the EPIC cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-01)
Epidemiological studies have reported inconsistent findings for the association between B vitamins and breast cancer (BC) risk. We investigated the relationship between biomarkers of folate and vitamin B12 and the risk of BC in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort. Plasma concentrations of folate and vitamin B12 were determined in 2,491 BC cases individually ...
Modifiable causes of premature death in middle-age in Western Europe: Results from the EPIC cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-14)
Background<br>
Life expectancy is increasing in Europe, yet a substantial proportion of adults still die prematurely before the age of 70 years. We sought to estimate the joint and relative contributions of tobacco smoking, hypertension, obesity, physical inactivity, alcohol and poor diet towards risk of premature death.<br>
Methods<br>
We analysed data from 264,906 European adults from the ...
Comparison of abdominal adiposity and overall obesity in relation to risk of small intestinal cancer in a European Prospective Cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-13)
Background: The etiology of small intestinal cancer (SIC)
is largely unknown, and there are very few epidemiological
studies published to date. No studies have investigated
abdominal adiposity in relation to SIC.
<p>Methods: We investigated overall obesity and abdominal
adiposity in relation to SIC in the European Prospective
Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), a large
prospective ...
Fiber intake modulates the association of alcohol intake with breast cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-06)
Alcohol intake has been related to an increased risk of breast cancer (BC) while dietary fiber intake has been inversely associated to BC risk. A beneficial effect of fibers on ethanol carcinogenesis through their impact on estrogen levels is still controversial. We investigated the role of dietary fiber as a modifying factor of the association of alcohol and BC using data from the European Prospective ...
