General and abdominal adiposity and risk of death in Europe.

TL;DR: It is suggested that both general adiposity and abdominal adiposity are associated with the risk of death and support the use of waist circumference or waist-to-hip ratio in addition to BMI in assessing therisk of death.
Journal ArticleDOI

A susceptibility locus for lung cancer maps to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit genes on 15q25

Rayjean J. Hung, +64 more
- 03 Apr 2008 - 
TL;DR: The results provide compelling evidence of a locus at 15q25 predisposing to lung cancer, and reinforce interest in nicotinic acetylcholine receptors as potential disease candidates and chemopreventative targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meat, Fish, and Colorectal Cancer Risk: The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition

TL;DR: It is confirmed that colorectal cancer risk is positively associated with high consumption of red and processed meat and support an inverse association with fish intake.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA methylation-based measures of biological age: meta-analysis predicting time to death

Brian H. Chen, +74 more
TL;DR: Evidence that epigenetic age predicts all-cause mortality above and beyond chronological age and traditional risk factors is strengthened and estimates that incorporate information on blood cell counts lead to highly significant associations with all- Cause mortality are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Body Size and Risk of Colon and Rectal Cancer in the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazards models to examine the association between anthropometric measures and risks of colon and rectal cancer among 368 277 men and women who were free of cancer at baseline from nine countries of the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition.
