Opposites don’t attract: High spouse concordance for dietary supplement use in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer in Norfolk (Epic-Norfolk) cohort study
Objective Dietary supplements are commonly consumed but may not be beneficial for everyone. It is known that supplement users have healthy behaviour characteristics but until now concordance between spouses living in the same household has not been investigated and concordance may be an important behavioural determinant. Design Prospective cohort study, cross-sectional data analysis. Setting European Prospective Investigation into Cancer in Norfo…
Developing a database of vitamin and mineral supplements (ViMiS) for the Norfolk arm of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer (Epic-Norfolk)
Objective Supplements are an important source of micronutrient intake, which, unless taken into account, can misclassify individuals with regard to levels of nutrient exposure. A label-based vitamin and mineral supplements (ViMiS) database was developed to contain manufacturers’ information and to enter supplement use by participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition in Norfolk (EPIC-Norfolk). The ViMiS database …
Socioeconomic position and risk of short-term weight gain: Prospective study of 14,619 middle-aged men and women
Individuals of low socioeconomic position are at greatest risk of gaining weight during middle age, which is not explained by classical correlates of socioeconomic position and risk factors for obesity
Self-Reported Mental Health-Related Quality of Life and Mortality in Men and Women in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer (Epic-Norfolk): A Prospective Population Study
Objective: To explore the relationship between self-reported mental functional health and mortality. Methods: Participants included 17,777 men and women aged 40 to 79 years at baseline who lived in Norfolk, UK, and had no known cardiovascular disease or cancer, and completed the anglicized Short Form 36-item questionnaire (UK SF-36) during 1996 to 2000 in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer-Norfolk prospective population study. We …
Fruit and vegetable consumption and self-reported functional health in men and women in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer–Norfolk (Epic–Norfolk): A population-based cross-sectional st…
Objectives To investigate the association between fruit and vegetable consumption and self-reported physical and mental functional health measured by an anglicised short-form 36-item questionnaire (UK SF-36). Design Population-based cross-sectional study. Setting General community in Norfolk, UK. Subjects A total of 16 792 men and women aged 40–79 years recruited from general practice population registers as part of the European Prospective Inves…
Healthy lifestyle choices: Could sense of coherence aid health promotion
BACKGROUND: A research framework based on the personal characteristic defined by a sense of coherence (SOC) focuses on the effective use of resources to maintain good health. OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that individual differences in SOC are associated with healthier lifestyle choices independently of social class and education. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross sectional. Population based cohort study recruited through 35 general practice registe…
Habitual fish consumption and risk of incident stroke: The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer (Epic)–Norfolk prospective population study
Objectives To examine the association between fish consumption and stroke risk. Design Prospective population cohort study. Setting Norfolk, UK cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer (EPIC–Norfolk). Subjects Subjects were 24 312 men and women aged 40–79 years who had no previous history of stroke at baseline. Methods Fish consumption was assessed using a food-frequency questionnaire at baseline in 1993–1997 and stroke incide…
Plasma levels of six carotenoids in nine European countries: Report from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic)
Background: In addition to their possible direct biological effects, plasma carotenoids can be used as biochemical markers of fruit and vegetable consumption for identifying diet–disease associations in epidemiological studies. Few studies have compared levels of these carotenoids between countries in Europe. Objective: Our aim was to assess the variability of plasma carotenoid levels within the cohort of the European Prospective Investigation in…
Nutritional methods in the European Prospective Investigation of Cancer in Norfolk
Objective: To describe methods and dietary habits of a large population cohort. Design: Prospective assessment of diet using diet diaries and food-frequency questionnaires, and biomarkers of diet in 24-h urine collections and blood samples. Setting: Free living individuals aged 45 to 75 years living in Norfolk, UK. Subjects: Food and nutrient intake from a food-frequency questionnaire on 23 003 men and women, and from a 7-day diet diary from 2117…
