Circulating Vitamin D in relation to cancer incidence and survival of the head and neck and oesophagus in the EPIC cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-04)
Experimental and epidemiological data suggest that vitamin D play a role in pathogenesis and
progression of cancer, but prospective data on head and neck cancer (HNC) and oesophagus cancer
are limited. The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study recruited
385,747 participants with blood samples between 1992 and 2000. This analysis includes 497 case-control pairs ...
A treelet transform analysis to relate nutrient patterns to the risk of hormonal receptor-defined breast cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-23)
Objective: Pattern analysis has emerged as a tool to depict the role of multiple
nutrients/foods in relation to health outcomes. The present study aimed at
extracting nutrient patterns with respect to breast cancer (BC) aetiology.<br>
Design: Nutrient patterns were derived with treelet transform (TT) and related to
BC risk. TT was applied to twenty-three log-transformed nutrient densities ...
Flavonoid and lignan intake and pancreatic cancer risk in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-10)
Despite the potential cancer preventive effects of flavonoids and lignans, their ability to reduce pancreatic cancer risk has not been demonstrated in epidemiological studies. Our aim was to examine the association between dietary intakes of flavonoids and lignans and pancreatic cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort. A total of 865 exocrine ...
HbA1c levels in non-diabetic older adults - No J-shaped associations with primary cardiovascular events, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality after adjustment for confoundersin a meta-analysis of individual participant data from six cohort studies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-11)
Background:<br>To determine the shape of the associations of HbA1c with mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in
non-diabetic individuals and explore potential explanations.<br>
Methods:<br> The associations of HbA1c with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and primary cardiovascular
events (myocardial infarction or stroke) were assessed in non-diabetic subjects ≥50 years from six ...
Physical activity and risk of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in a prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-11)
Previous case–control studies have suggested a possible increased risk of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) with physical activity (PA), but this association has never been studied in prospective cohort studies. We therefore assessed the association between PA and risk of death from ALS in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition. A total of 472,100 individuals were included ...
Comparison of abdominal adiposity and overall obesity in relation to risk of small intestinal cancer in a European Prospective Cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-13)
Background: The etiology of small intestinal cancer (SIC)
is largely unknown, and there are very few epidemiological
studies published to date. No studies have investigated
abdominal adiposity in relation to SIC.
<p>Methods: We investigated overall obesity and abdominal
adiposity in relation to SIC in the European Prospective
Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), a large
prospective ...
Meal patterns across ten European countries - Results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) calibration study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-19)
Objective: To characterize meal patterns across ten European countries
participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition
(EPIC) calibration study.
Design: Cross-sectional study utilizing dietary data collected through a standardized
24 h diet recall during 1995–2000. Eleven predefined intake occasions across
a 24 h period were assessed during the interview. In ...
Effect of major lifestyle risk factors, independent and jointly, on life expectancy with and without cardiovascular disease: results from the Consortium on Health and Ageing Network of Cohorts in Europe and the United States (CHANCES)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-18)
Seldom have studies taken account of changes in lifestyle habits in the elderly, or investigated their impact on disease-free life expectancy (LE) and LE with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Using data on subjects aged 50+ years from three European cohorts (RCPH, ESTHER and Tromsø), we used multi-state Markov models to calculate the independent and joint effects of smoking, physical activity, obesity ...
Pre-diagnostic meat and fibre intakes in relation to colorectal cancer survival in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-19)
Main nutrient patterns and colorectal cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-20)
Background: Much of the current literature on diet–colorectal cancer (CRC) associations focused on studies of single foods/
nutrients, whereas less is known about nutrient patterns. We investigated the association between major nutrient patterns and
CRC risk in participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study.
<p>Methods: Among 477 312 participants, ...
