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 ...
Consumption of Whole-Grain Bread and Risk of Colorectal Cancer among Norwegian Women (the NOWAC Study)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-13)
There is evidence that consumption of foods containing dietary fiber decreases the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Whole grains contain dietary fiber, as well as a range of micronutrients and bioactive compounds, but the association between the consumption of whole grains and the risk of CRC remains less studied. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between whole-grain ...
The predictive effect of body mass index on type 2 diabetes in the Norwegian women and cancer study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-10-24)
Background
Several studies have analyzed the association of body mass index (BMI) with either the prevalence or incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D), but no study from Europe or North America has yet analyzed and compared the association of BMI with both incident and prevalent T2D cases.
Methods
Stratified logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (OR), and stratified Cox proportional ...

To investigate dietary and non-dietary characteristics of wholegrain bread eaters in the Norwegian Women and Cancer study.<br>Cross-sectional study using an FFQ.<br>Women were divided into two groups according to wholegrain bread consumption.<br>Adult women (n 69 471).<br>Median daily consumption of standardized slices of wholegrain bread was 2·5 in the low intake group and 4·5 in the high intake ...
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 fraction of breast cancer attributable to smoking: The Norwegian women and cancer study 1991–2012
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-09)
Background: Results from several recent cohort studies on smoking and breast cancer incidence and mortality suggest that the
burden of smoking on society is underestimated. We estimated the fraction of breast cancer attributable to smoking in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study, a nationally representative prospective cohort study. <br>
Methods: We followed 130 053 women, aged 34–70 years, who ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
