COHORT PROFILE Cohort Profile: The EPIC-NL study
A major scientific challenge for the next few decades is to understand the interaction between genetic susceptibility and environmental factors in the aetiology of chronic diseases. The most promising approach to discover these interactions requires a combined effort of epidemiology and molecular genetics and large sample sizes for sufficient power. Already in the early 90s, the European Prospe...
متن کاملMediterranean Style Diet and 12-Year Incidence of Cardiovascular Diseases: The EPIC-NL Cohort Study
BACKGROUND A recent meta-analysis showed that a Mediterranean style diet may protect against cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Studies on disease-specific associations are limited. We evaluated the Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) in relation to incidence of total and specific CVDs. METHODS The EPIC-NL Study is a cohort of 40,011 men and women aged 20-70 years, examined between 1993 and 1997, with...
متن کاملMortality and cancer incidence in the EPIC-NL cohort: impact of the healthy volunteer effect.
BACKGROUND Prospective cohort studies recruit relatively healthy population samples, resulting in lower morbidity and mortality rates than in the source population. This is known as the healthy volunteer effect. The aim of this study was to define the magnitude and the development over time of the healthy volunteer effect in the EPIC-NL cohort. METHODS We studied mortality rates in the EPIC-N...
متن کاملCOHORT PROFILE Cohort profile: The Tromsø Study
The Tromsø Study was initiated in 1974 in an attempt to help combat the high mortality of cardiovascular diseases in Norway, that was particularly pronounced among middle-aged men. In the mid-1970s, Norwegian men had a 20% risk of dying of myocardial infarction (MI) before the age of 75 years. The situation in Northern Norway was even worse. The primary aim of the Tromsø Study was to determine ...
متن کاملAdherence to the WHO’s Healthy Diet Indicator and Overall Cancer Risk in the EPIC-NL Cohort
BACKGROUND A healthy dietary pattern defined by international recommendations of the World Health Organisation (WHO) has been shown to reduce overall mortality risk. It is unknown whether this healthy dietary pattern is associated with overall cancer incidence. DESIGN In total 35,355 men and women within the Dutch European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-cohort were follow...
