TL;DR: While these SNPs represent new independent risk factors for prostate cancer, there is little evidence for effect modification by other SNPs or by the environmental factors examined, and no evidence of pair-wise SNP-SNP interactions.

TL;DR: Using data on cancer incidence for 2008 and the AF(p) estimates, about 270,000 new cancer diagnoses per year can be considered attributable to cigarette smoking in the eight European countries with available data for both men and women.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a higher level of PA reduces abdominal adiposity independent of baseline and changes in body weight and is thus a useful strategy for preventing chronic diseases and premature deaths.

TL;DR: Overall, adiponectin showed no association with pancreas cancer risk; however, among never smokers, higher circulating levels of adiponECTin were associated with a reduction in pancreatic cancer risk, whereas among current smokers there was no significant association.
