Association Between Dairy Products Consumption and Esophageal, Stomach, and Pancreatic Cancers in the PANESOES Multi Case-Control Study.
Cancers (Basel)
December 2024
This study explored the association between dairy products consumption (total and subgroups) and cancer of the esophagus, stomach, and pancreas within the PANESOES case-control study. Data from 1229 participants, including 774 incident cases of cancer and 455 controls matched by age, sex, and region, were analyzed. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated Food Frequency Questionnaire, categorizing dairy intake by total and subgroups (fermented dairy, sugary dairy desserts, and milk).

- Infancy is a crucial growth period where lack of essential nutrients and exposure to harmful elements can lead to long-term health problems; this study focuses on measuring urine concentrations of these elements during the weaning period (3 to 18 months).
- Data from the Nutrition in Early Life and Asthma (NELA) cohort included sociodemographic and dietary information, revealing that breastfed infants had lower concentrations of certain harmful elements compared to formula-fed infants.
- Results showed significant increases in the urine concentrations of some non-essential elements (like arsenic and lead) as infants transitioned to solid foods, highlighting the impact of diet on exposure levels during this developmental stage.
Purpose: Pro-vegetarian (PVG) dietary patterns have shown health benefits, although the evidence concerning their association with mortality is scarce, particularly in older populations. We investigated the effect of three defined PVG patterns on all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer mortality risk in an older Mediterranean population.
Methods: We analysed baseline data from 597 adults aged 65 and older who participated in a population-based cross-sectional study, and mortality during a 12-year period.
Recent studies have found arsenic contamination of drinking water in some parts of Iran, as in many other countries. Thus, a comprehensive systematic review is necessary to assess the distribution and concentration of arsenic in drinking water sources. For this purpose, articles published from the first identification until December 2023, were retrieved from various national and international databases.

Objective: To assess at baseline and after 1-year of follow-up associations between estimated dietary intake (DI) of PFOS, and glucose homeostasis parameters and body-mass-index (BMI) in a senior population of 4600 non-diabetic participants from the PREDIMED-plus study.
