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 ...
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>

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. ...
Test–retest reliability of self-reported diabetes diagnosis in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study: A population-based longitudinal study (n = 33,919)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-21)
Objective: Self-reported information from questionnaires is frequently used in epidemiological studies, but few of these
studies provide information on the reproducibility of individual items contained in the questionnaire. We studied the test–
retest reliability of self-reported diabetes among 33,919 participants in Norwegian Women and Cancer Study.
Methods: The test–retest reliability of ...
