Combined impact of healthy lifestyle factors on colorectal cancer: A large European cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Pre-diagnostic concordance with the WCRF/AICR guidelines and survival in European colorectal cancer patients: A cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-05-07)
Background: Cancer survivors are advised to follow lifestyle recommendations on diet, physical activity, and body
fatness proposed by the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute of Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) for
cancer prevention. Previous studies have demonstrated that higher concordance with these recommendations
measured using an index score (the WCRF/AICR score) was associated with ...
Nutrient patterns and their food sources in an international study setting: Report from the EPIC study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
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 hormone receptor positive and negative breast cancer: a cohort study.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Background
The association of reproductive factors with hormone receptor (HR)-negative breast tumors remains uncertain.
Methods
Within the EPIC cohort, Cox proportional hazards models were used to describe the relationships of reproductive factors (menarcheal age, time between menarche and first pregnancy, parity, number of children, age at first and last pregnancies, time since last full-term ...
Plasma methionine, choline, betaine, and dimethylglycine in relation to colorectal cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Lifetime alcohol use and overall and cause-specific mortality in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and nutrition (EPIC) study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Plasma elaidic acid level as biomarker of industrial trans fatty acids and risk of weight change: Report from the EPIC study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-12)
Background
Few epidemiological studies have examined the association between dietary trans fatty
acids and weight gain, and the evidence remains inconsistent. The main objective of the
study was to investigate the prospective association between biomarker of industrial trans
fatty acids and change in weight within the large study European Prospective Investigation
into Cancer and Nutrition ...
Circulating biomarkers of one-carbon metabolism in relation to renal cell carcinoma incidence and survival
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-05)
The etiology of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is only partially understood, but a metabolic component appears likely. We investigated biomarkers of one-carbon metabolism and RCC onset and survival.
Methods The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) recruited 385747 participants with blood samples between 1992 and 2000, and this analysis included 556 RCC case-control pairs. ...
Healthy lifestyle and risk of cancer in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04)
It has been estimated that at least a third of the most common
cancers are related to lifestyle and as such are preventable. Key modifiable
lifestyle factors have been individually associated with cancer risk; however,
less is known about the combined effects of these factors.
This study generated a healthy lifestyle index score (HLIS) to
investigate the joint effect of modifiable factors on ...
