      Limited evidence exists on the role of modifiable lifestyle factors on the risk of lymphoma. In this work, the associations between adherence to healthy lifestyles and risks of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) were evaluated in a large‐scale European prospective cohort. Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), 2,999 incident lymphoma cases ...

    • Overall lifestyle changes in adulthood are associated with cancer incidence in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study (NOWAC) - a prospective cohort study 

      Chen, Sairah Lai Fa; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Botteri, Edoardo; Ferrari, Pietro; Braaten, Tonje; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-04-03)
      <p><i>Background:</i> Cancer is a leading cause of premature death worldwide and incidence is expected to rise in the coming decades. Many cohort studies, measuring lifestyle factors at one time-point, have observed that overall healthy lifestyles were inversely related to cancer incidence. However, there is little knowledge on the impact of lifestyle modification within adulthood. <p><i>Methods:</i> ...
