Global variation in patterns of care and time to initial treatment for breast, cervical, and ovarian cancer from 2015 to 2018 (VENUSCANCER): a secondary analysis of individual records for 275 792 women from 103 population-based cancer registries in 39 countries and territories

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Background Cancers of the breast, cervix, and ovary are a major public health problem worldwide. Evaluating the consistency with clinical guidelines for treatment by use of individual high-resolution data from population-based cancer registries is a powerful tool to help interpretation of global inequalities in cancer survival. The VENUSCANCER project aims to assess the worldwide variation…

Understanding and reframing clinical errors through just culture: protocol for the DECIDE mixed-methods study in Spanish healthcare and community contexts

Artículos Científicos, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Introduction Patient safety culture plays a crucial role in reducing clinical errors. By improving healthcare professionals’ and patients’ understanding of human fallibility and error attribution, patient care can be enhanced, fostering greater engagement from both groups. A Just Culture approach, which balances accountability and learning from errors, is a key factor in fostering this safety…

Gender inequalities of caregiver mental health and burden in the three years post COVID-19 (CUIDAR-SE Study)

Artículos Científicos, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (ensuring healthy lives and well-being) and SDG 5 (achieving gender equality), especially for caregivers. Increased demand for informal caregiving has disproportionately impacted caregivers, worsening mental health challenges. Intense burden reinforces traditional gender norms and exacerbates health inequities, linking…

Intake of total, classes, and subclasses of (poly)phenols and risk of lymphoid neoplasms: a prospective analysis in the EPIC cohort

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Background Existing epidemiological evidence regarding the potential role of (poly)phenol intake in lymphoma development is limited. Methods We investigated the associations between the intake of total and individual classes and subclasses of (poly)phenols and the risk of lymphoma, including main frequent subtypes in the EPIC cohort using multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models. Results During a…

Walkability, Right to the City and Right to Health: pathways toward equity and justice – a systematic mixed-methods review

Artículos Científicos, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

This paper explores the intersection of walkability, the Right to Health and the Right to the City, with a particular emphasis on equitable access in rapidly urbanizing environments. Urbanization exacerbates challenges to health inequities, particularly for vulnerable populations with limited access to walkable, health-promoting spaces. Through a systematic mixed-methods literature review, we analyze how walkability…

Quantifying the environmental and food biodiversity impacts of ultra-processed foods: evidence from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Objective:While associations of ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption with adverse health outcomes are accruing, its environmental and food biodiversity impacts remain underexplored. This study examines associations between UPF consumption and dietary greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe), land use and food biodiversity. Design:Prospective cohort study. Linear mixed models estimated associations between UPF intake (g/d and kcal/d) and GHGe…

Development of a blood-based lipidomic fat quality score for the risk of ischemic stroke

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Introduction: Poor-quality diets promote ischemic stroke. Red blood cell fatty acids (RBC-FAs) are objective, long-term biomarkers of diet. In a case-control study nested in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-Spain, we developed a blood-based lipidomic fat quality (LFQ) score considering pre-defined RBC-FA diet-related biomarkers, and examined whether LFQ score relates to the…

Plant-based dietary patterns and age-specific risk of multimorbidity of cancer and cardiometabolic diseases: a prospective analysis

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Background It is currently unknown whether plant-based dietary patterns influence disease progression to multimorbidity after an initial non-communicable disease, and whether the associated risk of multimorbidity varies with age. This study aimed to investigate associations of plant-based diets with the risk of multimorbidity, defined as the co-occurrence of at least two chronic diseases in an…
