      Despite some epidemiological evidence on the protective effects of polyphenol intake on epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk from case-control studies, the evidence is scarce from prospective studies and non-existent for several polyphenol classes. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the associations between the intake of total, classes and subclasses of polyphenols and EOC risk in a large ...

    • Pre- and post-diagnostic blood profiles of chlorinated persistent organic pollutants and metabolic markers in type 2 diabetes mellitus cases and controls; a pilot study 

      Berg, Vivian; Charles, Dolley; Bergdahl, Ingvar A.; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Tornevi, Andreas; Huber, Sandra; Fuskevåg, Ole Martin; Rylander, Charlotta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-09)
      Objective - Several risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are also associated with blood concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and factors related to the disease may affect POP concentrations, and subsequent associations between POPs and T2DM. The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the change in concentrations of lipids, hormones and POPs pre- and post-diagnosis ...

    • Pre- and post-diagnostic blood profiles of perfluoroalkyl acids in type 2 diabetes mellitus cases and controls 

      Charles, Dolley; Berg, Vivian; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Huber, Sandra; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Rylander, Charlotta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-09)
      <i>Background</i> - Studies exploring the associations between perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are rather limited and have reported conflicting results. All studies to date, including prospective ones, have relied on a single blood sample to study this association. Similarly, studies investigating how T2DM status may influence the longitudinal changes in PFAA ...

    • Predicting human plasma concentrations of persistent organic pollutants from dietary intake and socio-demographic information in the Norwegian Women and Cancer study 

      Berg, Vivian; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Rylander, Charlotta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-09)
      <i>Background</i> - Concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in humans are influenced by a large number of factors including birth year, reproductive history and diet. Accordingly, information on dietary habits and socio-demographic variables may predict plasma concentrations of POPs, thus enabling studies on health effects in large epidemiological studies, without performing time ...

    • Prevalence and correlates of self-reported disordered eating: A cross-sectional study among 90 592 middle-aged Norwegian women 

      Sigstad, Marie; Rosenvinge, Jan H; Skeie, Guri; Rylander, Charlotta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-23)
      Disordered eating (DE) is extensively studied among adolescents and young women. However, there is growing evidence that DE as well as the clinical eating disorders may occur at any age from childhood to advanced years. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and correlates of DE in a representative sample of middle-aged women from Norway. The study included 90 592 women (median age: 55 years) ...

    • Preventable fractions of cancer incidence attributable to 7-years weight gain in the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) study 

      da Silva, Marisa Eleonor; Laaksonen, Maarit A.; Lissner, Lauren; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Rylander, Charlotta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-15)
      There is a lack of tangible measures for directed public health action to halt the increase in weight and cancer. We estimated the fraction and preventable cases of all and major body fatness-related cancers attributable to 7-years weight gain (≥ 2 kg). We assessed validated self-reported anthropometrics from 44,114 women aged 34–49 years at the enrolment in 1991–1992 and from a second questionnaire ...

    • Progestin-only and combined oral contraceptives and receptor-defined premenopausal breast cancer risk: The Norwegian Women and Cancer Study 

      Busund, Marit Katinka; Stensland-Bugge, Nora; Braaten, Tonje; Waaseth, Marit; Rylander, Charlotta; Lund, Eiliv (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-19)
      Receptor-defined subtypes of breast cancer represent distinct cancer types and have differences in risk factors. Whether the two main hormonal forms of oral contraceptives (OCs); i.e. progestin-only (POC) and combined oral contraceptives (COC), are differentially associated with these subtypes are not well known. The aim of our study was to assess the effect of POC and COC use on hormone receptor-defined ...

    • Reproductive Factors, Use of Exogenous Hormones, and Pancreatic Cancer Incidence: The Norwegian Women and Cancer Study 

      Alvarez, Antoine; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Rylander, Charlotta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-05)
      Introduction: The incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing worldwide and characterized by a particularly low survival rate. Studies have reported weak and inconsistent evidence for associations among reproductive factors, use of exogenous hormones, and pancreatic cancer incidence in women. <p> <p>Purpose: To investigate relationships between reproductive factors, exogenous hormones, and the ...

      Waaseth, Marit; Olsen, Karina Standahl; Rylander, Charlotta; Lund, Eiliv; Dumeaux, Vanessa (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)

    • A survey of dioxin-like contaminants in fish from recreational fishing. 

      Heimstad, Eldbjørg Sofie; Grønstøl, Gaute; Hetland, Karl Torstein; Alarcon, Javier Martinez; Rylander, Charlotta; Mariussen, Espen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-19)
      The dioxin and dioxin-like compounds are regarded as one of the most toxic group of environmental contaminants. Food for the commercial market is regularly monitored for their dioxin levels and the concentration allowed in food is strictly regulated. Less is known about locally caught fish from recreational fishing, which is often brought home for consumption. This can be fish caught from nearby ...

    • Time trends of perfluoroalkyl substances in blood in 30-year old Norwegian men and women in the period 1986–2007 

      Berg, Vivian; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Hanssen, Linda; Rylander, Charlotta; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-11)
      Biomonitoring studies are helpful tools and can increase our knowledge on time trends in human blood concentrations of PFASs: how they relate to emission trends and the potential prenatal exposure for future generations. In this study, serum was sampled in cross-sections of men and women who were 30 years old in each of the years 1986, 1994, 2001, and 2007 in Northern Norway and analyzed for 23 ...

      Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Berg, Vivian; Hanssen, Linda; Rylander, Charlotta; Gaudreau, Eric; Dumas, Pierre; Breivik, Knut; Sandanger, Torkjel M (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-01)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Human biomonitoring studies have demonstrated decreasing concentrations of many persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in years after emission peaks.</p> <p><i>Objectives</i>: To describe time trends of POPs in blood using four cross-sectional samples of 30 year olds from Tromsø, Norway across 1986–2007, and to compare the measured concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyl ...

    • Transcriptomic signals in blood prior to lung cancer focusing on time to diagnosis and metastasis 

      Nøst, Therese H.; Holden, Marit; Dønnem, Tom; Bøvelstad, Hege; Rylander, Charlotta; Lund, Eiliv; Sandanger, Torkjel M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-01)
      Recent studies have indicated that there are functional genomic signals that can be detected in blood years before cancer diagnosis. This study aimed to assess gene expression in prospective blood samples from the Norwegian Women and Cancer cohort focusing on time to lung cancer diagnosis and metastatic cancer using a nested case–control design. We employed several approaches to statistically analyze ...

      <p><i>Introduction:</i> The majority of pregnant women in Georgia attend the free-of-charge, national antenatal care (ANC) programme, but over 5% of pregnancies in the country are unattended. Moreover, Georgia has one of the highest perinatal mortality (PM) rates in Europe (11.7/1000 births). <p><i>Purpose:</i> To assess the association between unattended pregnancies and the risk of PM. <p><i>Methods:</i> ...
