Dietary Carotenoids and Cognitive Decline: A Longitudinal Study Among Chinese Middle‐Aged and Older Adults

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
Higher intake of dietary carotenoids was associated with slower cognitive decline. The strongest protective association was observed for moderate carotenoid intake. Total carotenoid intake exhibited a non‐linear association with cognitive decline. ABSTRACT Background This study examined the association between dietary intakes of total and specific ...

The Africa We Want: A Perspective on the African Code Against Cancer To Be Developed for Sub‐Saharan Africa

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) faces a unique cancer burden, characterized by a disproportionately high mortality‐to‐incidence ratio, a large share of infection‐related cancers, and distinct environmental exposures. Implementation of national policies on primary prevention is limited, and public literacy regarding cancer risk and curability remains ...
