Journal ArticleDOI

Subtypes of fruit and vegetables, variety in consumption and risk of colon and rectal cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition.

Max Leenders, +53 more
TL;DR: This study does not support a clear inverse association between fruit and vegetable consumption and colon or rectal cancer beyond a follow‐up of more than 10 years, but a lower risk of colon cancer is suggested with high consumption of fruit and vegetables.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial DNA copy number and future risk of B-cell lymphoma in a nested case-control study in the prospective EPIC cohort

TL;DR: The evidence that mtDNA copy number is related to risk of CLL and supports the importance of mitochondrial dysfunction as a possible mechanistic pathway in CLL ontogenesis is substantially strengthened.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of Dietary Factors and Endometrial Cancer Risk Using a Nutrient-wide Association Study Approach in the EPIC and Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and NHSII.

Melissa A. Merritt, +54 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that coffee intake may be inversely associated with endometrial cancer risk, and further data are needed to confirm these findings and to examine the mechanisms linking coffee intake to endometrian cancer risk to develop improved prevention strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reproductive factors and risk of mortality in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition; a cohort study

TL;DR: Childbirth, breastfeeding, oral contraceptive use, and a later age at menarche were associated with better health outcomes, and these findings may contribute to the development of improved strategies to promote better long-term health in women.
