Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary polychlorinated biphenyls, long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and incidence of malignant melanoma.
TL;DR: While a direct association between dietary PCB exposure and risk of melanoma was found, EPA-DHA intake showed to have a substantial protective association and question of benefits and risk from fish consumption is very relevant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term physical activity and lower urinary tract symptoms in men.
Nicola Orsini,Bahram Rashidkhani,Swen-Olof Andersson,Lars Karlberg,Jan-Erik Johansson,Alicja Wolk +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that physical activity in young and late adulthood may be associated with a lower risk of moderate and severe lower urinary tract symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Women who use aspirin daily have a slightly lower risk of developing ovarian cancer (∼10% lower than infrequent/nonuse)-similar to the risk reduction observed in case-control analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison between two healthy diet scores, the modified Mediterranean diet score and the Healthy Nordic Food Index, in relation to all-cause and cause-specific mortality.
TL;DR: In Swedish women, both mMED and HNFI were inversely associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, and the combined analysis indicated an advantage to be adherent to the mMED.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variant predictors of gene expression provide new insight into risk of colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: PendiXcan as mentioned in this paper uses cis-regulatory variant predictors to impute expression and perform gene-level association tests in GWAS without directly measured transcriptomes, finding statistically significant associations using colon transcriptome models with TRIM4 and PYGL.
