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

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…

Biodiverse diets present co-benefits for greenhouse gas emissions, land use, mortality rates and nutritional adequacy in Europe

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…

Comparative clinical outcomes of acenocoumarol versus direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation: real-world-evidence (SIESTA-A study)

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs: dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban) and warfarin versus acenocoumarol in patients with atrial fibrillation under real-world clinical practice conditions.

Gestational exposure to organophosphate pesticides and maternal urine metabolomic profile in the GENEIDA birth cohort

Early developmental exposure to organophosphate (OP) pesticides has been linked to adverse health effects, though the underlying molecular pathways remain unclear. This study examined urinary metabolomic profiles of 387 pregnant women in their first and third trimesters using UPLC-MS/MS to identify metabolic disruptions associated with OPs exposure measured via dialkyl phosphate (DAPs) metabolites, including total,…

Thyroid hormones and epithelial ovarian cancer risk and survival: results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study

Background Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid hormones (free triiodothyronine [fT3] and free thyroxine [fT4]) may influence cancer outcomes, but evidence for ovarian cancer is limited. Methods We conducted a nested case–control study comparing 578 epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) cases with matched controls within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). To examine associations…

Young Men’s Communication Needs for the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine: A Cross-Cultural, Qualitative Analysis in Scotland, Spain, and the USA

Background Globally, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake rates have declined within a wider context of vaccine hesitancy. Gender-neutral vaccine programmes are increasing and recommended for the prevention of cervical, anogenital, and oropharyngeal cancers affecting both women and men. To address the problem of suboptimal HPV uptake rates for boys and men, we aimed to understand…

A Framework for Considering the Role of the Public Sector in R&D of Health Technology

The development of health technologies involves complex, costly, and risky investments, with significant contributions from both public and private sectors. Recent EU pharmaceutical directives propose transparency on public funding to aid pricing negotiations and affordability. However, questions remain regarding how public investments should be measured and their influence on pricing and reimbursement (P&R) decisions. In…
