Background: Alcohol consumption has been described to exhibit a J-shaped relationship with dementia risk, but previous observations may be partly biased due to “sick-quitters” and competing risks of death. Objective: To examine the association between baseline and lifetime alcohol consumption and the risk of dementia and subtypes in a large Mediterranean cohort, accounting for lifetime…
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…
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Early detection and personalised prevention strategies are crucial for reducing the burden of CVD. The use of biomarkers plays a pivotal role in identifying individuals at risk and facilitating timely interventions. This rapid scoping review aims to identify and evaluate current research on…
Background and aims Substantial differences have been reported in risk estimates for etiologic factors of pancreatic cancer among subjects with different degrees of diagnostic certainty. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of some personal and social characteristics on the diagnostic basis in individuals with pancreatic cancer. Methods We analyzed 393 participants…
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…
Hematological neoplasms (HN) were the first cause of death in children aged 5–9 years in Spain. The aim of this registry-based study is to provide a detailed overview of the survival of HN in the Spanish pediatric population. All pediatric HN cases included were classified according to the International Classification for Childhood Cancer. Flexible parametric…
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…
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…
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…
Dietary diversity is vital for public health nutrition, yet the co-benefits of increasing dietary species richness (DSR) on human and environmental health remain unassessed. Here we explore associations between DSR and greenhouse gas emissions, land use, nutrient adequacy and mortality rates among European Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study participants. Total DSR was positively…
