The association between adult attained height and sitting height with mortality in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition (EPIC)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-03)
Adult height and sitting height may reflect genetic and environmental factors, including early life nutrition, physical and social environments. Previous studies have reported divergent associations for height and chronic disease mortality, with positive associations observed for cancer mortality but inverse associations for circulatory disease mortality. Sitting height might be more strongly ...
Circulating copper and zinc levels and risk of hepatobiliary cancers in Europeans
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-02)
Background:<br>Copper and zinc are essential micronutrients and cofactors of many enzymatic reactions that may be involved in liver-cancer development. We aimed to assess pre-diagnostic circulating levels of copper, zinc and their ratio (Cu/Zn) in relation to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic bile duct (IHBD) and gall bladder and biliary tract (GBTC) cancers.<br>Methods:<br>A nested ...
Mediterranean diet and risk of pancreatic cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-07)
Background: The Mediterranean diet (MD) has been proposed as a means for cancer prevention, but little evidence has been accrued regarding its potential to prevent pancreatic cancer. We investigated the association between the adherence to the MD and pancreatic cancer risk within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort.
<br>Methods: Over half a million ...
The premenopausal breast cancer collaboration: A pooling project of studies participating in the national cancer institute cohort consortium
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-09)
Breast cancer is a leading cancer diagnosis among premenopausal women around the world. Unlike rates in postmenopausal women, incidence rates of advanced breast cancer have increased in recent decades for premenopausal women. Progress in identifying contributors to breast cancer risk among premenopausal women has been constrained by the limited numbers of premenopausal breast cancer cases in individual ...
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 ...

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 ...
