      <i>Background</i> - There is increasing evidence that folate, an important component of one-carbon metabolism, modulates the epigenome. Alcohol, which can disrupt folate absorption, is also known to affect the epigenome. We investigated the association of dietary folate and alcohol intake on leukocyte DNA methylation levels in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) ...

      Epidemiological studies have reported inconsistent findings for the association between B vitamins and breast cancer (BC) risk. We investigated the relationship between biomarkers of folate and vitamin B12 and the risk of BC in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort. Plasma concentrations of folate and vitamin B12 were determined in 2,491 BC cases individually ...

      Aim of the study: A vast majority of human malignancies are associated with ageing, and age is a strong predictor of cancer risk. Recently, DNA methylation-based marker of ageing, known as ‘epigenetic clock’, has been linked with cancer risk factors. This study aimed to evaluate whether the epigenetic clock is associated with breast cancer risk susceptibility and to identify potential epigenetics-based ...

      Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a highly fatal cancer with currently limited opportunities for early detection and effective treatment. Modifiable factors may offer pathways for primary prevention. In this study, the association between the Healthy Lifestyle Index (HLI) and PC risk was examined. Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort, 1113 incident PC (57% women) ...
    • Identifying and correcting epigenetics measurements for systematic sources of variation

      <i>Background</i>: Methylation measures quantified by microarray techniques can be affected by systematic variation due to the technical processing of samples, which may compromise the accuracy of the measurement process and contribute to bias the estimate of the association under investigation. The quantification of the contribution of the systematic source of variation is challenging in datasets ...
    • Life-Course Trajectories of Physical Activity and Melanoma Risk in a Large Cohort of Norwegian Women 

      Perrier, Flavie; Ghiasvand, Reza; Lergenmuller, Simon; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Green, Adele C.; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-22)
      Purpose: Physical activity (PA) is a cornerstone in disease prevention and varies throughout life. A pooled analysis of cohort studies and a meta-analysis of cohort studies found positive associations between PA and melanoma risk. However, previous studies focused on PA at specific ages and often lacked information on ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. Using the population-based Norwegian Women ...
    • Lifetime sunburn trajectories and associated risks of cutaneous melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma among a cohort of Norwegian women 

      Lergenmuller, Simon; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Perrier, Flavie; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Green, Adele C.; Lund, Eiliv; Ghiasvand, Reza; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-05)
      Importance - To our knowledge, no study has prospectively investigated sunburn patterns over age periods from childhood to adulthood and their associations with skin cancer risk.<p> <p>Objective - To identify lifetime trajectories of sunburns and compare the association between these trajectories and subsequent risk of cutaneous melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC).<p> <p>Design, ...
    • No association between physical activity and primary melanoma thickness in a cohort of Norwegian women 

      Perrier, Flavie; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Ghiasvand, Reza; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Braaten, Tonje; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Rüegg, Corina Silvia; Greene, Adele C; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-21)
      Knowledge about factors associated with melanoma thickness, the most important prognostic factor for localized primary melanoma survival,1 may help reduce the risk of melanoma deaths. Previously reported associations of melanoma thickness with pigmentary characteristics, number of naevi, diet quality and body mass index (BMI)2–4 may be explained by behavioural and biological mechanisms. Physical ...
    • Physical activity and cutaneous melanoma risk: A Norwegian population-based cohort study 

      Perrier, Flavie; Ghiasvand, Reza; Lergenmuller, Simon; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Green, Adele C.; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-20)
      Physical activity (PA) is an important factor in cancer prevention, but positive association between PA and risk of cutaneous melanoma found in recent studies may complicate this strategy. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure during outdoor PA is a plausible explanation for a positive association. We investigated the associations between PA, UVR and melanoma risk in the Norwegian Women and Cancer ...
