Osteoprotegerin and breast cancer risk by hormone receptor subtype: A nested case-control study in the EPIC cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-08)
Background:<br>Circulating osteoprotegerin (OPG), a member of the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (RANK) axis, may influence breast cancer risk via its role as the decoy receptor for both the RANK ligand (RANKL) and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). Circulating OPG and breast cancer risk has been examined in only one prior study.<br>Methods:<br>A case-control ...
Lung cancers attributable to environmental tobacco smoke and air pollution in non-smokers in different European countries : a prospective study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007-02-15)
Background: Several countries are discussing new legislation on the ban of smoking in public
places, and on the acceptable levels of traffic-related air pollutants. It is therefore useful to estimate
the burden of disease associated with indoor and outdoor air pollution.
Methods: We have estimated exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) and to air
pollution in never smokers and ex-smokers ...
Determinants of non- response to a second assessment of lifestyle factors and body weight in the EPIC-PANACEA study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
This paper discusses whether baseline demographic, socio-economic, health variables, length of follow-up and method of contacting the participants predict non-response to the invitation for a second assessment of lifestyle factors and body weight in the European multi-center EPIC-PANACEA study.
Over 500.000 participants from several centers in ten European countries recruited between 1992 and 2000 ...
Consumption of dairy products and colorectal cancer in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition (EPIC)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Background: Prospective studies have consistently reported lower colorectal cancer risks associated with higher intakes of
total dairy products, total milk and dietary calcium. However, less is known about whether the inverse associations vary for
individual dairy products with differing fat contents.
Materials and Methods: In the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), ...
Reproductive factors and risk of mortality in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition; a cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-30)
Background: Reproductive events are associated with important physiologic changes, yet little is known about
how reproductive factors influence long-term health in women. Our objective was to assess the relation of reproductive
characteristics with all-cause and cause-specific mortality risk.
<p>Methods: The analysis was performed within the European Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition ...
