Journal Article

The macronutrient composition of the Greek diet: estimates derived from six case-control studies

TL;DR: It is concluded that low total fat intake is not a characteristic of the Greek diet and cannot explain the apparently health-promoting consequences of this diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modification of the interleukin-6 response to air pollution by interleukin-6 and fibrinogen polymorphisms.

TL;DR: The effect of gaseous traffic-related air pollution on inflammation may be stronger in genetic subpopulations with ischemic heart disease and could offer an opportunity to identify postinfarction patients who would benefit more than others from a cleaner environment and antiinflammatory treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-Term Exposure to Fine Particle Elemental Components and Natural and Cause-Specific Mortality-a Pooled Analysis of Eight European Cohorts within the ELAPSE Project.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported inconsistent associations between long-term exposure to particles with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 µm and mortality. But they did not consider the effect of particle sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamins A, C and E and the risk of breast cancer: results from a case-control study in Greece.

TL;DR: The inverse association observed with β- carotene intake is slightly weaker than the association previously observed with vegetable intake in these data, raising the possibility that the observed β-carotene effect is accounted for by another component of vegetables.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term exposure to low-level air pollution and incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : The ELAPSE project

TL;DR: Long-term exposure to low-level air pollution is associated with the development of COPD, even below current EU and US limit values and possibly WHO guidelines, and traffic-related pollutants NO2 and BC may be the most relevant.
