Reproductive Factors, Sex Hormone Levels, and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Risk: A Mendelian Randomization Study

Artículos Científicos, Investigación

Background: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is occurring three times more frequently in females than in males. However, the underlying biological mechanisms driving this discrepancy remain poorly understood. To investigate the causal role of sex hormones and reproductive factors in the risk of DTC, we implemented a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods: We utilized genome-wide…

Alcohol and smoking habits in association with hepatocellular carcinoma risk

We assessed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk associated with smoking and alcohol consumption and their interactions, using both questionnaire data and objective serum biomarkers. Information on smoking and alcohol consumption was collected at baseline from 450,112 participants of the EPIC cohort, among whom 255 developed HCC after a median follow-up of 14 years. In a nested case–control…

Reassessing the association between age at menarche and cardiovascular disease: observational and Mendelian randomization analyses

Artículos Científicos, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Aims Observational studies have shown a U-shaped association between age at menarche (AAM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We assessed non-linearity of the observational association and the potential causal relationship between AAM and CVD using data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition—Cardiovascular Disease (EPIC-CVD) study and the UK Biobank. Methods and results We…

Sexual Dysfunction in Women With Eating Disorders: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Artículos Científicos, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Background Eating disorders (EDs) are common mental health conditions that impact people globally. Sexual health problems are also widely researched across various contexts. This paper explores the connection between these two areas by conducting a meta-analysis to assess sexual dysfunction (SD) in women with EDs compared to healthy individuals. Methods Multiple electronic databases were searched.…

Inflammation and gut barrier function-related genes and colorectal cancer risk in western European populations

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Gut barrier dysfunction and related inflammation are known to be associated with the development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). We investigated associations of 292 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 27 genes related to endotoxins/lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sensing and tolerance, mucin synthesis, inflammation, and Crohn’s disease with colon and rectal cancer risks. Incident CRC cases (N = 1374; colon = 871,…

Comprehensive analysis of West Nile Virus transmission: Environmental, ecological, and individual factors. An umbrella review

Artículos Científicos, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Background West Nile Virus (WNV) exemplifies the complexities of managing vector-borne diseases, expanding globally due to human activities and ecological changes. Originating from Africa and transmitted by Culex mosquitoes, WNV is now reported across multiple continents. The aim of this study was to identify the environmental, ecological, and individual factors influencing WNV transmission. Methods An…

Higher intakes of dietary dicarbonyl compounds are associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Aims Dicarbonyl compounds such as methylglyoxal (MGO), glyoxal (GO), and 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) are present in numerous foods. They are pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative, but their potential role in cardiovascular disease (CVD) development has been scarcely studied. We explored associations between dietary dicarbonyls with fatal and non-fatal CVD. Methods and results We conducted a case-cohort analysis based…

Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet and Obesity-Linked Cancer Risk in EPIC

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Investigación

Importance  Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) has been associated with a lower incidence of cancer and reduced weight gain. These associations suggest a potential role for the MedDiet in lowering the risk of obesity-related cancers (ORCs). Obesity is a known risk factor for various cancers and shows an inverse association with MedDiet adherence. Objective …
