Meat consumption and mortality - results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Background: Recently, some US cohorts have shown a moderate association between red and processed meat
consumption and mortality supporting the results of previous studies among vegetarians. The aim of this study
was to examine the association of red meat, processed meat, and poultry consumption with the risk of early death
in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition ...
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), ...
Macronutrient composition of the diet and prospective weight change in participants of the EPIC-PANACEA study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Background: The effect of the macronutrient composition of the usual diet on long term weight maintenance remains
controversial.
Methods: 373,803 subjects aged 25–70 years were recruited in 10 European countries (1992–2000) in the PANACEA project
of the EPIC cohort. Diet was assessed at baseline using country-specific validated questionnaires and weight and height
were measured at baseline and ...
Plasma alkylresorcinols, biomarkers of whole-grain wheat and rye intake, and incidence of colorectal cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-12-07)
Background<p>
<p>Few studies have investigated the association between whole-grain intake and colorectal cancer. Because whole-grain intake estimation might be prone to measurement errors, more objective measures (eg, biomarkers) could assist in investigating such associations.<p>
<p>Methods
<p>The association between alkylresorcinols, biomarkers of whole-grain rye and wheat intake, and colorectal ...
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 ...
