Journal ArticleDOI

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

Obesity, metabolic factors and risk of different histological types of lung cancer: A Mendelian randomization study

Robert Carreras-Torres, +64 more
- 08 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: The results are consistent with a causal role of fasting insulin and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in lung cancer etiology, as well as for BMI in squamous cell and small cell carcinoma, and the latter relation may be mediated by a previously unrecognized effect of obesity on smoking behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Malmö Diet and Cancer Study: representativity, cancer incidence and mortality in participants and non-participants.

TL;DR: It is concluded that mortality is higher in non‐participants than in participants during recruitment and follow-up, and it is suggested that non-participants may have a lower cancer incidence prior to recruitment but a higher incidence during the recruitment period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fruit and Vegetable Intake and Overall Cancer Risk in the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)

TL;DR: A very small inverse association between intake of total fruits and vegetables and cancer risk was observed in this study, and caution should be applied in their interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale association analysis identifies new lung cancer susceptibility loci and heterogeneity in genetic susceptibility across histological subtypes

James D. McKay, +146 more
- 12 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: 18 susceptibility loci achieving genome-wide significance are identified, including 10 new loci linked with lung cancer overall and six loci associated with lung adenocarcinoma, highlighting the striking heterogeneity in genetic susceptibility across the histological subtypes of lung cancer.
