Coffee consumption and the risk of cancer in the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-24)
An association between coffee consumption and cancer has long been investigated. Coffee consumption among Norwegian women is high, thus this is a favorable population in which to study the impact of coffee on cancer incidence. Information on coffee consumption was collected from 91,767 women at baseline in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study. These information were applied until follow-up information ...
Epithelial ovarian cancer subtypes attributable to smoking in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study, 2012
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016-01-14)
Among European women, ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer.
Smoking is an established risk factor for mucinous tumors. We estimated the
impact of smoking in Norwegian women using population attributable fractions
(PAFs) of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), by invasiveness and by histological
subtypes in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study with an average of 13.2 years
of follow-up. ...

Lifetime number of years of menstruation as a risk index for postmenopausal endometrial cancer in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-21)
<p><i>Introduction</i>: Lifetime number of years of menstruation (LNYM) reflects a woman's cumulative exposure to endogenous estrogen and can be used as a measure of the combined effect of reproductive factors related to endometrial cancer (EC) risk.</p>
<p><i>Material and methods</i>: We aimed to study the association between LNYM and EC risk among postmenopausal women and calculate the population ...
Physical activity patterns and the risk of colorectal cancer in the Norwegian Women and Cancer study: A population-based prospective study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-04)
<p><I>Introduction</I>: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second most common cancer in women worldwide. Physical activity (PA) has been associated with reduced risk of CRC; however, this has been demonstrated more consistently in men, while results of studies in women have been largely equivocal. We aimed to further examine the relationship between PA patterns and the risk of CRC in women, using ...
