      <p>Background: Studies examining diet scores in relation to health outcomes are gaining ground. Thus, control for dietary factors not part of the score, and lifestyle associated with adherence, is required to allow for a causal interpretation of studies on diet scores and health outcomes. <p>Objective: The study objective is to describe and investigate dietary composition, micronutrient density, ...

    • Alcohol consumption, body mass index and breast cancer risk by hormone receptor status: Women' Lifestyle and Health Study 

      Shin, Aesun; Sandin, Sven; Löf, Marie; Margolis, Karen L.; Kim, Kyeezu; Couto, Elisabeth; Adami, Hans Olov; Weiderpass, Elisabete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-09)
      Background: We aimed to estimate the effect of alcohol consumption on breast cancer risk and to test whether overweight and obesity modifies this association. <p>Methods: We included in the analysis 45,233 women enrolled in the Swedish Women’s Lifestyle and Health study between 1991 and 1992. Participants were followed for occurrence of breast cancer and death until December 2009. Poisson regression ...

      Objective:<br>Most studies on obesity and mortality use a single anthropometric measure. Less is known about the effects of weight change on mortality. This study examined changes in body mass index (DBMI) and waist circumference (DWC) and subsequent all-cause and cause-specific mortal ity.<br>Methods:<br>The study was conducted in the Women’s Lifestyle and Health cohort, using self-reported ...

    • Determinants of long-term weight change among middle-aged Swedish women

      Objective:<br> To describe the determinants of 12‐year weight change among middle‐aged women in Sweden. <br>Methods:<br> In 1991/1992, 49,259 women across Sweden were recruited into a cohort. In 2003, 34,402 (73%) completed follow‐up. Lifestyle and health characteristics including weight were collected, and 12‐year weight change and substantial weight gain (≥+5.0 kg) were calculated; association ...

      Gram, Inger Torhild; Sandin, Sven; Braaten, Tonje; Lund, Eiliv; Weiderpass, Elisabete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Recent studies have found that the risk of death continues to increase among female smokers, as compared with women who have never smoked. We wanted to examine the effect of smoking on all-cause and causespecific mortality and calculate the corresponding population attributable fraction (PAF) of mortality in the Norwegian women and cancer study; a nationally representative prospective cohort ...
