Social Inequalities and Mortality in Europe - Results from a Large Multi-National Cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
Socio-economic inequalities in mortality are observed at the country level in both North America and Europe. The purpose of this work is to investigate the contribution of specific risk factors to social inequalities in cause-specific mortality using a large multi-country cohort of Europeans.
A total of 3,456,689 person/years follow-up of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and ...
Multiple miscarriages are associated with the risk of ovarian cancer: results from the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
While the risk of ovarian cancer clearly reduces with each full-term pregnancy, the effect of incomplete pregnancies is unclear. We investigated whether incomplete pregnancies (miscarriages and induced abortions) are associated with risk of epithelial ovarian cancer. This observational study was carried out in female participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition ...
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), ...
Macronutrient composition of the diet and prospective weight change in participants of the EPIC-PANACEA study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Background: The effect of the macronutrient composition of the usual diet on long term weight maintenance remains
controversial.
Methods: 373,803 subjects aged 25–70 years were recruited in 10 European countries (1992–2000) in the PANACEA project
of the EPIC cohort. Diet was assessed at baseline using country-specific validated questionnaires and weight and height
were measured at baseline and ...
Coffee and tea consumption and risk of pre- and postmenopausal breast cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-01-31)
Introduction: Specific coffee subtypes and tea may impact risk of pre- and post-menopausal breast cancer differently.
We investigated the association between coffee (total, caffeinated, decaffeinated) and tea intake and risk of breast cancer.<p>
<p>Methods: A total of 335,060 women participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Nutrition and Cancer
(EPIC) Study, completed a dietary ...
Adiposity, hormone replacement therapy use and breast cancer risk by age and hormone receptor status: a large prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-14)
Introduction: Associations of hormone-receptor positive breast cancer with excess adiposity are reasonably well characterized; however, uncertainty remains regarding the association of body mass index (BMI) with hormonereceptor negative malignancies, and possible interactions by hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use. Methods: Within the European EPIC cohort, Cox proportional hazards models were used ...
