Total Serum Cholesterol and Cancer Incidence in the Metabolic Syndrome and Cancer Project (Me-Can)
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between total serum cholesterol (TSC) and cancer incidence in the Metabolic syndrome and Cancer project (Me-Can). METHODS Me-Can consists of seven cohorts from Norway, Austria, and Sweden including 289,273 male and 288,057 female participants prospectively followed up for cancer incidence (n = 38,978) with a mean follow-up of 11.7 years.

We aimed to examine the association between MetS factors (individually and combined) and risk of breast cancer incidence and mortality. METHODS Two hundred ninety thousand women from Austria, Norway, and Sweden were enrolled during 1974-2005, w...
متن کاملCohort Profile: The Metabolic syndrome and Cancer project (Me-Can)

These factors have, separately and jointly, been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. To date, little is known about the metabolic syndrome and cancer risk. Recent prospective studies have either focused on the a...
متن کاملBlood pressure and risk of cancer incidence and mortality in the Metabolic Syndrome and Cancer Project.
Observational studies have shown inconsistent results for the association between blood pressure and cancer risk. We investigated the association in 7 cohorts from Norway, Austria, and Sweden. In total, 577799 adults with a mean age of 44 years were followed for, on average, 12 years. Incident cancers were 22184 in men and 14744 in women, and cancer deaths were 8724 and 4525, respectively.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between metabolic risk factors (individually and in combination) and risk of gallbladder cancer (GBC). METHODS The metabolic syndrome and cancer project (Me-Can) includes cohorts from Norway, Austria, and Sweden with data on 578,700 men and women. We used Cox proportional hazard regression models to calculate relative risks of GBC by body mass index (B...
