Background: Previous studies suggest a positive association between markers of trans-fatty acid intake and prostate cancer. We therefore prospectively evaluated the association between blood trans-fatty acid levels and ...
Early life body fatness and risk of colorectal cancer in US women and men – results from two large cohort studies
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2015)
Background: The association between body fatness before adulthood and later risk of colorectal cancer remains unclear. We hypothesized that, independent of adult body fatness, early life body fatness would be associated ...
