BMI and Lifetime Changes in BMI and Cancer Mortality Risk [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 2015
Body Mass Index (BMI) is known to be associated with cancer mortality, but little is known about the link between lifetime changes in BMI and cancer mortality in both males and females. We studied the association of BMI measurements (at baseline, highest and lowest BMI during the study-period) and lifetime changes in BMI (calculated over different time

The Risk of Cancer Might be Lower Than We Think. Alternatives to Lifetime Risk Estimates

Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal, 2018
Background Estimates of lifetime cancer risk are commonly used in the clinical setting and in health-care evaluations. These measures are based on lifetime cancer risk estimates and may create an unrealistically frightening perception of cancer risk for

Prediction of Lifetime and 10-Year Risk of Cancer in Individual Patients With Established Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]

JACC. CardioOncology, 2020
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer share many common risk factors; patients with CVD also may be at risk of developing cancer. Objectives: The aim of this study was to derive and externally validate prediction models for the estimation ...

Lifetime physical activity and risk of breast cancer [PDF]

British Journal of Cancer, 2001
We conducted a case-control study of 394 women with breast cancer and 788 control women (91% response) to investigate the association of lifetime physical activity with mainly menopausal breast cancer risk. After controlling for potential confounders, the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for increasing quartiles of lifetime physical activity were

Underutilisation of breast cancer prevention medication in Australia

Breast, 2021
Increased implementation of proven prevention strategies is required to combat rising breast cancer incidence. We assessed use of risk reducing medication (RRMed) by Australian women at elevated breast cancer risk. Only 2.4% had ever used RRMed.

Lifetime grain consumption and breast cancer risk [PDF]

Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 2016
We evaluated individual grain-containing foods and whole and refined grain intake during adolescence, early adulthood, and premenopausal years in relation to breast cancer risk in the Nurses' Health Study II. Grain-containing food intakes were reported on a baseline dietary questionnaire (1991) and every 4 years thereafter.
