Association Between Physical Activity and Mortality Among Breast Cancer Survivors

implications of the dependency of Parkinson's patients
Occupational socioeconomic risk associations for head and neck cancer in Europe and South America
BACKGROUND: The association between socioeconomic disadvantage (low education and/or income) and head and neck cancer is well established, with smoking and alcohol consumption explaining up to three-quarters of the risk. We aimed to investigate the nature of and explanations for head and neck cancer risk associated with occupational socioeconomic prestige (a perceptual measure of psychosocial status), occupational socioeconomic position and manua…
The influence of lifestyle, diet, and reproductive history on age at natural menopause in Spain
OBJECTIVE: To determinate the role of lifestyle factors, recent diet, menstrual factors, and reproductive history in age at natural menopause in adult Spanish women. METHODS: In total, 12 562 pre-menopausal women were available for analysis from the EPIC-Spain sub-cohort. Women were recruited between 1992 and 1996 in five regions of Spain (Asturias, Granada, Murcia, Navarra, and San Sebastian) and, for these analyses, were followed for 3 years. Q…
Validity of self-reported prevalent cases of stroke and acute myocardial infarction in the Spanish cohort of the Epic study
BACKGROUND: Information on the validity of self-reported cases of stroke and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is varied. The aim of this study was to assess the validity and agreement of self-reported prevalent cases of stroke and AMI in the Spanish cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). METHODS: At recruitment, 1992-1996, and in the follow-up (3 years after recruitment), each participant in the Spanis…
Salivary cotinine concentrations in daily smokers in Barcelona, Spain
This study shows that salivary cotinine concentration is significantly associated with the number of cigarettes smoked and sex, but not with other smoking-related variables
General and Abdominal Adiposity and Risk of Death in Europe
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have relied predominantly on the body-mass index (BMI, the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) to assess the association of adiposity with the risk of death, but few have examined whether the distribution of body fat contributes to the prediction of death. METHODS: We examined the association of BMI, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio with the risk of death among 359,387 partici…
Intake and food sources of nitrites and N-nitrosodimethylamine in Spain
Objective To conduct a comprehensive assessment of dietary intakes of nitrites and N -nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Subjects and setting A study was conducted within the Spanish cohort of the European Prospective Investigation in Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) to assess the intake and food sources of these compounds in Spanish adults. The study included 41 446 health volunteers, aged 29–69 years, from Northern and Southern regions. Usual food intake …
Patterns of alcohol consumption in 10 European countries participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic) project
bjective: The aim of this study was to compare the quantities of alcohol and types of alcoholic beverages consumed, and the timing of consumption, in centres participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). These centres, in 10 European countries, are characterised by widely differing drinking habits and frequencies of alcohol-related diseases. Methods: We collected a single standardised 24-hour dietary re…
Consumption of vegetables, fruit and other plant foods in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic) cohorts from 10 European countries
Objective: To describe and compare the consumption of the main groups and sub-groups of vegetables and fruits (V&F) in men and women from the centres participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Design: Cross-sectional analysis. Dietary intake was assessed by means of a 24-hour dietary recall using computerised interview software and standardised procedures. Crude and adjusted means were computed for t…
European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic) calibration study
The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), which covers a large cohort of half a million men and women from 23 European centres in 10 Western European countries, was designed to study the relationship between diet and the risk of chronic diseases, particularly cancer. Information on usual individual dietary intake was assessed using different validated dietary assessment methods across participating countries. In ord…
Types of fat intake and body mass index in a Mediterranean country
Background Although the fatty acid fractions provide similar metabolizable energy, the type of dietary fat consumed could be relevant to the development of obesity. Objective To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), obesity and the consumption of different types of fat and olive oil in a Mediterranean country with high prevalence of obesity, and high intake of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and olive oil. Subjects The st…
Vegetable and fruit consumption associated with anthropometric, dietary and lifestyle factors in Spain
Objective To evaluate the association of vegetable and fruit intake with several demographic, anthropometric, lifestyle and dietary factors. Design and setting Cross-sectional analysis. Information on habitual diet was collected by means of the diet history method. Association of vegetable and fruit intakes with other factors was assessed separately by means of multiple lineal regression and the cumulative odds model. Subjects 39 622 healthy subj…
