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 ...
The hazards of death by smoking in middle-aged women
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Recent studies have found that the risk of death
continues to increase among female smokers, as compared
with women who have never smoked. We wanted to
examine the effect of smoking on all-cause and causespecific
mortality and calculate the corresponding population
attributable fraction (PAF) of mortality in the Norwegian
women and cancer study; a nationally
representative prospective cohort ...
High coffee consumption and different brewing methods in relation to postmenopausal endometrial cancer risk in the Norwegian women and cancer study: A population-based prospective study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
<i>Background</i>: Coffee and its compounds have been proposed to inhibit endometrial carcinogenesis. Studies in the Norwegian population can be especially interesting due to the high coffee consumption and increasing incidence of endometrial cancer in the country.<p>
<p><i>Methods</i>: A total of 97 926 postmenopausal Norwegian women from the population-based prospective Norwegian
Women and ...
Physical activity and mortality among Norwegian women : the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
Physical activity (PA) and its relationship with all-cause mortality suggest a strong and consistent inverse association. This study prospectively investigated the association
between PA level and mortality among participants of the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) Study.
A total of 66,136 NOWAC participants were followed-up until December 31st 2008. PA level and possible confounding factors ...
Physical activity before and after breast cancer diagnosis and survival - the Norwegian women and cancer cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-12-16)
Background: The main aim of this study was to investigate pre- and post-diagnostic physical activity (PA) levels, as well as changes in pre- and post-diagnostic PA levels, and their association with all-cause and breast cancer-specific mortality in women with breast cancer. Our study will add to the knowledge on whether a modifiable behavior such as PA can improve survival.
<p>Methods: We included ...
Physical activity and the risk of postmenopausal breast cancer - The Norwegian Women and Cancer Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Socioeconomic differences in cancer survival : the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-06-08)
Background: Cancer survival has been observed to be poorer in low socioeconomic groups, but
the knowledge about the underlying causal factors is limited. The purpose of this study was to
examine how cancer survival varies by socioeconomic status (SES) among women in Norway, and
to identify factors that explain this variation. SES was measured by years of education and gross
household income, ...
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 ...
