Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary fiber intake and risk of postmenopausal breast cancer defined by estrogen and progesterone receptor status--a prospective cohort study among Swedish women.
TL;DR: Dietary fiber intake from fruit and cereal may play a role in reducing breast cancer risk and among ever‐users of postmenopausal hormone (PMH), total fiber intake and especially cereal fiber were statistically significantly associated with ∼50% reduced risk for overall and ER+PR+ tumors when comparing the highest to the lowest quartile, but no association was observed among PMH never users.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between age at natural menopause and risk of heart failure.
TL;DR: It is indicated that women who experience early natural menopause are at increased risk for developing heart failure and that smoking can modify the association by increasing the risk even among women who enter menophere around ages 46 to 49 years.
