Using Metrics of a Mixture Effect and Nutrition from an Observational Study for Consideration towards Causal Inference
Environmental exposures to a myriad of chemicals are associated with adverse health effects in humans, while good nutrition is associated with improved health. Single chemical in vivo and in vitro studies demonstrate causal links between the chemicals and outcomes, but such studies do not represent human exposure to environmental mixtures. One way of summarizing the effect of the joint action of chemical mixtures is through an empirically weighte…
Evaluation of alkylresorcinols in adipose tissue biopsies as a long-term biomarker of whole-grain wheat and rye intake in free-living Swedish men and women
Objective Wheat and rye, the most consumed whole grains (WG) in the Nordic countries, contain alkylresorcinols (AR) in their bran. AR concentrations in human adipose tissue might reflect long-term WG rye and wheat intake. We aimed to evaluate AR concentrations in adipose tissue biopsies as a long-term biomarker of WG wheat and rye intake in free-living Swedish men and women. Design Cross-sectional study. AR concentrations in adipose tissue biopsi…
Association of Leisure-Time Physical Activity With Risk of 26 Types of Cancer in 1.44 Million Adults
IMPORTANCE: Leisure-time physical activity has been associated with lower risk of heart-disease and all-cause mortality, but its association with risk of cancer is not well understood. OBJECTIVE: To determine the association of leisure-time physical activity with incidence of common types of cancer and whether associations vary by body size and/or smoking. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: We pooled data from 12 prospective US and European cohor…
Body-Mass Index and Mortality among 1.46 Million White Adults
BACKGROUND: A high body-mass index (BMI, the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) is associated with increased mortality from cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, but the precise relationship between BMI and all-cause mortality remains uncertain. METHODS: We used Cox regression to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for an association between BMI and all-cause mortality, adjusting for age, stud…
Eating patterns and portion size associated with obesity in a Swedish population
Obesity and colon and rectal cancer risk
Lipid profile and socioeconomic status in healthy middle aged women in Sweden
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and full lipid profile in middle aged healthy women. PARTICIPANTS: These comprised 300 healthy Swedish women between 30 and 65 years who constitute the control group of the Stockholm female coronary risk study, a population based, case-control study of women with coronary heart disease (CHD). The age matched control group, drawn from the census register of greater Sto…
Calcium intake among women aged 40-76 in Sweden. Study Group MRS SWEA. Multiple Risk Survey on Swedish Women for Eating Assessment
Ljunghall, and the study group MRS SWEA* Calcium is essential for bone strength, but there is no uniform opinion concerning the necessary daily intake of calcium in adult females. Re- commendations range from 500' to 1500 mg/d.'
