Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to develop, validate, and illustrate an updated prediction model (SCORE2) estimate 10-year fatal non-fatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in individuals without previous CVD or diabetes aged 40–69 years Europe. Methods results We derived models using individual-participant data from 45 cohorts 13 countries (677 684 individuals, 30 121 events). used sex-specific competing risk-adjusted models, including age, smoking status, systolic blood pressure,...
The evidence for anthropometric factors influencing breast cancer risk is accumulating, but uncertainties remain concerning the role of fat distribution and potential effect modifiers. We used data from 73,542 premenopausal 103,344 postmenopausal women 9 European countries, taking part in EPIC study. RRs Cox regression models were calculated, using measured height, weight, BMI waist hip circumferences; categorized by cohort-wide quintiles; expressed as continuous variables, adjusted study...
Considerable experimental and epidemiological evidence suggests that elevated endogenous sex steroids — notably androgens oestrogens promote breast tumour development. In spite of this evidence, postmenopausal androgen replacement therapy with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) or testosterone has been advocated for the prevention osteoporosis improved sexual well-being. We have conducted a case–control study nested within European Prospective Investigation into Cancer Nutrition. Levels DHEA...
Recently, some US cohorts have shown a moderate association between red and processed meat consumption mortality supporting the results of previous studies among vegetarians. The aim this study was to examine meat, poultry with risk early death in European Prospective Investigation into Cancer Nutrition (EPIC).Included analysis were 448,568 men women without prevalent cancer, stroke, or myocardial infarction, complete information on diet, smoking, physical activity body mass index, who 35 69...
Background: Contrasting etiologic hypotheses about the role of endogenous sex steroids in breast cancer development among premenopausal women implicate ovarian androgen excess and progesterone deficiency, estrogen excess, both an or lack adrenal androgens (dehydroepiandrosterone [DHEA] its sulfate [DHEAS]) as risk factors. We conducted a case–control study nested within European Prospective Investigation into Cancer Nutrition cohort to examine associations serum concentrations subsequent...
No known cohort study has investigated whether the Mediterranean diet can reduce incident coronary heart disease (CHD) events in a population. This examined relation between adherence and risk of CHD 5 Spanish centers European Prospective Investigation into Cancer Nutrition. Analysis included 41,078 participants aged 29-69 years, recruited 1992-1996 followed up until December 2004 (mean follow-up:10.4 years). Confirmed fatal nonfatal were analyzed according to adherence, measured by using an...
Air pollution has been associated with cardiovascular mortality, but it remains unclear as to whether specific pollutants are related causes of death. Within the multicenter European Study Cohorts for Pollution Effects (ESCAPE), we investigated associations long-term exposure several air all disease (CVD) well
BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) is considered a cornerstone of diabetes mellitus management to prevent complications, but conclusive evidence lacking. METHODS This prospective cohort study and meta-analysis existing studies investigated the association between PA mortality in individuals with diabetes. In EPIC (European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer Nutrition), was defined 5859 at baseline. Associations leisure-time total walking cardiovascular disease (CVD) were studied using...
Although several studies have investigated the association of Mediterranean diet with overall mortality or risk specific cancers, data on cancer are sparse. We examined between adherence to dietary pattern and using from European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer nutrition, a multi-centre prospective cohort study including 142 605 men 335 873. Adherence was score (range: 0–9) considering combined intake fruits nuts, vegetables, legumes, cereals, lipids, fish, dairy products, meat...
Abstract Background Although lifestyle factors have been studied in relation to individual non-communicable diseases (NCDs), their association with development of a subsequent NCD, defined as multimorbidity, has scarcely investigated. The aim this study was investigate associations between five and incident multimorbidity cancer cardiometabolic diseases. Methods In prospective cohort study, 291,778 participants (64% women) from seven European countries, mostly aged 43 58 years free cancer,...
Soft drinks are frequently consumed, but whether this consumption is associated with mortality risk unknown and has been understudied in European populations to date.
Epidemiological evidence suggests that the Mediterranean diet (MD) could reduce risk of breast cancer (BC). As from prospective studies remains scarce and conflicting, we investigated association between adherence to MD BC among 335,062 women recruited 1992 2000, in ten European countries, followed for 11 years on average. Adherence was estimated through an adapted relative (arMED) score excluding alcohol. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used while adjusting factors. A total...
Background Whether and how n-3 n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are related to type 2 diabetes (T2D) is debated. Objectively measured plasma PUFAs can help clarify these associations. Methods Findings Plasma phospholipid were by gas chromatography among 12,132 incident T2D cases 15,919 subcohort participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer Nutrition (EPIC)-InterAct study across eight countries. Country-specific hazard ratios (HRs) estimated using...
Background: Night shift work, exposure to light at night (ALAN) and circadian disruption may increase the risk of hormone-dependent cancers. Objectives: We evaluated association ALAN during sleeping time with breast prostate cancer in a population based multicase–control study (MCC-Spain), among subjects who had never worked night. chronotype, characteristic that relate adaptation Methods: enrolled 1,219 cases, 1,385 female controls, 623 879 male controls from 11 Spanish regions 2008–2013....
