Journal ArticleDOI

Susan E. Hankinson,Susan E. Hankinson,Graham A. Colditz,David J. Hunter,David J. Hunter,Walter C. Willett,Walter C. Willett,Meir J. Stampfer,Meir J. Stampfer,Bernard Rosner,Charles H. Hennekens,Frank E. Speizer +11 more
TL;DR: This work has shown that parity and long term use of oral contraceptives are associated consistently with a decreased risk of ovarian cancer and that age at menarche or menopause is a major risk factor for ovarian cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Miriam Garland,J. S. Morris,Meir J. Stampfer,Graham A. Colditz,V. L. Spate,C. K. Baskett,Bernard Rosner,Frank E. Speizer,Walter C. Willett,David J. Hunter +9 more
TL;DR: Toenail selenium level was not inversely associated with cancer at any major site, including uterine cancer, colorectal cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, or lung cancer (after adjusting for smoking); in fact, nonsignificant positive associations were observed at several sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary protein and risk of ischemic heart disease in women
Frank B. Hu,Meir J. Stampfer,JoAnn E. Manson,Eric B. Rimm,Graham A. Colditz,Frank E. Speizer,Charles H. Hennekens,Walter C. Willett +7 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that replacing carbohydrates with protein may be associated with a lower risk of ischemic heart disease, because a high dietary protein intake is often accompanied by increases in saturated fat and cholesterol intakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Comparison of Prospective and Retrospective Assessments of Diet in the Study of Breast Cancer
Edward Giovannucci,Meir J. Stampfer,Meir J. Stampfer,Graham A. Colditz,Graham A. Colditz,JoAnn E. Manson,Bernard Rosner,Matt Longnecker,Frank E. Speizer,Walter C. Willett,Walter C. Willett +10 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that case-control studies of diet and breast cancer may yield biased associations between fat intake and the risk of breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Retrospective Cohort Study of Vasectomy and Prostate Cancer in US Men
Edward Giovannucci,Tor D. Tosteson,Frank E. Speizer,Alberto Ascherio,Martin Vessey,Graham A. Colditz +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence from other epidemiologic studies that vasectomy increases risk of prostate cancer is supported, which may be related to a diminished secretory rate of prostatic fluid following vasectomy, or, alternatively, to the postvasectomy immune response to sperm antigens.
