      Background: The Mediterranean diet (MD) has been proposed as a healthy diet with a potential to lower the incidence of several types of cancer, but there is no data regarding thyroid cancer (TC). We investigated the association between MD adherence, and its components, and the differentiated TC risk within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort.<p> <p>Methods: ...

      Purpose - Chronic inflammation is thought to initiate or promote differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and previous studies have shown that diet can modulate this inflammatory process. We aimed to evaluate the association of several dietary scores reflecting the inflammatory potential of the diet with DTC risk.<p> <p>Methods - Within the EPIC cohort, 450,063 participants were followed during a mean ...

      Jensen, Torill Miriam Enget; Braaten, Tonje Bjørndal; Jacobsen, Bjarne Koster; Skeie, Guri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-25)
      Background: The shape of the associations between intake of foods basic in a healthy Nordic diet and long-term health is not well known. Therefore, we have examined all-cause mortality in a large, prospective cohort of women in Norway in relation to intake of: Nordic fruits and vegetables, fatty fsh, lean fsh, wholegrain products, and low-fat dairy products.<p> <p>Methods: A total of 83 669 women ...
    • Pre-diagnostic intake of vitamin D and incidence of colorectal cancer by anatomical subsites: the Norwegian Women and Cancer Cohort Study (NOWAC) 

      Paulsen, Elise Marlen; Rylander, Karin Charlotta Maria; Brustad, Magritt; Jensen, Torill Miriam Enget (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-09)
      According to the World Cancer Research Fund International, vitamin D might decrease the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, less is known about the association with cancers in different subsites of the colon and in the rectum. The aim of this study was to examine associations between pre-diagnostic intake of vitamin D and risk of CRC by anatomical subsites. Data from 95 416 participants in the ...
    • Replacing red and processed meat with lean or fatty fish and all-cause and cause specific mortality in Norwegian women. the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study (NOWAC): A prospective cohort study 

      Jensen, Torill Miriam Enget; Braaten, Tonje Bjørndal; Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Ibsen, Daniel B.; Skeie, Guri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-11)
      Nordic Nutrition Recommendations recommend reducing red and processed meat and increasing fish consumption, but the impact of this replacement on mortality is understudied. This study investigated the replacement of red and processed meat with fish in relation to mortality. Of 83 304 women in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study (NOWAC) study, 9420 died during a median of 21·0 years of follow-up. ...
