Comorbidity patterns, family history and breast cancer risk
BACKGROUND: Limited evidence exists on how the presence of multiple conditions affects breast cancer (BC) risk. METHODS: We used data from a network hospital-based case-control study conducted in Italy and Switzerland, including 3034 BC cases and 3392 controls. Comorbidity patterns were identified using latent class analysis on a set of specific health conditions/diseases. A multiple logistic regression model was used to derive ORs and the corres…
Mediterranean diet in relation to body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio
Objective The Mediterranean diet is rich in fat and starch, and hence may be related to overweight. We therefore investigated the relationship between adherence to a Mediterranean diet and body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Design and setting Data were obtained from the control group of a network of case–control studies on cancer conducted in major teaching and general hospitals in four Italian areas between 1991 and 2002. An int…
Lipid, protein and carbohydrate intake in relation to body mass index
Objective To analyse the association between macronutrient intake and body mass index (BMI). Design A series of hospital-based case–control studies. Settings Selected teaching and general hospitals in several Italian regions. Subjects A total of 6619 subjects from the comparison groups of the case–control studies were included in the analysis. Methods We obtained data from a validated 78-item food-frequency questionnaire submitted between 1991 an…
