      Background: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between the degree of food processing in our diet and the risk of various chronic diseases. Much of this evidence is based on the international Nova classification system, which classifies food into four groups based on the type of processing: (1) Unprocessed and minimally processed foods, (2) Processed culinary ingredients, ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-07)
      Purpose - Previously reported associations of protein-rich foods with stroke subtypes have prompted interest in the assessment of individual amino acids. We examined the associations of dietary amino acids with risks of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke in the EPIC study.<p> <p>Methods - We analysed data from 356,142 participants from seven European countries. Dietary intakes of 19 individual ...
    • Dietary fatty acids, macronutrient substitutions, food sources and incidence of coronary heart disease: Findings from the EPIC-CVD case-cohort study across nine european countries

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-07)
      BACKGROUND: There is controversy about associations between total dietary fatty acids, their classes (saturated fatty acids [SFAs], monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids), and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Specifically, the relevance of food sources of SFAs to CHD associations is uncertain.<p> METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted a case-cohort study involving 10 529 ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-20)
      Background: Accelerated reproductive aging, in women indicated by early natural menopause, is associated with increased coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in observational studies. Conversely, an adverse CHD risk profile has been suggested to accelerate menopause.<p> <p>Objectives: To study the direction and evidence for causality of the relationship between reproductive aging and (non-)fatal CHD ...
    • Lifestyle correlates of eight breast cancer-related metabolites: a cross-sectional study within the EPIC cohort

      Background: Metabolomics is a promising molecular tool for identifying novel etiological pathways leading to cancer. In an earlier prospective study among pre- and postmenopausal women not using exogenous hormones, we observed a higher risk of breast cancer associated with higher blood concentrations of one metabolite (acetylcarnitine) and a lower risk associated with higher blood concentrations of ...
