  • The association of education with body mass index and waist circumference in the Epic-Panacea study

    Open AccessSilke Hermann, Sabine Rohrmann et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    In this European cohort, there is an inverse association between higher BMI as well as higher WC and lower education level. Public Health Programs that aim to reduce overweight and obesity should primarily focus on the lower educated population

  • P2-292 Total serum cholesterol and cancer incidence in the metabolic syndrome and cancer project (ME-CAN)

    Susanne Strohmaier, Tone Bjørge et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Introduction The relationship between serum cholesterol and cancer risk remains controversial. We examined the association between total serum cholesterol and cancer incidence in the Metabolic Syndrome and Cancer Project (Me-Can). Methods Me-Can consists of seven cohorts from Norway, Austria, and Sweden including 289 273 male and 288 057 female participants prospectively followed up for cancer incidence (n=39 004) for a mean follow-up of 11.7 yea…

  • P2-210 Metabolic syndrome and cervical cancer in the metabolic syndrome and cancer project (ME-CAN)

    G Nagel, G A Nagel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Introduction Little is known about the association between the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cervical cancer carcinogenesis. Methods The Me-Can cohort includes 288 834 women. During an average follow-up of 11 years 425 invasive cervical cancer cases were diagnosed. HRs were estimated by use of Cox proportional hazards regression models for quintiles and standardised z-scores (with a mean of 0 and a SD of 1) of body mass index, blood pressure, glu…

  • P2-69 Metabolic syndrome and risk of brain tumour in a large population-based cohort study

    Michael Edlinger, Tone Bjørge et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Background There are few established determinants of brain tumour. We assessed among adults the risk of brain tumour in relation to metabolic syndrome factors. Methods 580 000 subjects from Sweden, Austria, and Norway were followed for a median of 10 years (Me-Can). Brain tumour information was obtained from national cancer registries. The factors of metabolic syndrome, body mass index, blood pressure, and blood levels of glucose, cholesterol, an…

  • General and Abdominal Adiposity and Risk of Death in Europe

    Tobias Pischon, Heiner Boeing et al.ARTICLENew England Journal of Medicine2008

    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…

  • Intra-urban differences in breast cancer mortality

    Jonas Manjer, Göran Berglund et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2000Cited by: 2References: 13

    STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess whether in an urban population stage at breast cancer diagnosis is related to area of living and to what extent intra-urban differences in breast cancer mortality are related to incidence respectively stage at diagnosis. DESIGN: National registries were used to identify cases. Mortality in 17 residential areas was studied in relation to incidence and stage distribution using linear regression analysis. Areas with high a…
