Background: Knowledge about the diet quality among youth who follow different types of plant-based diets is essential to understand whether support is required to ensure a well-planned diet that meets their nutritional needs. This study aimed to investigate how food groups, macronutrient intake, and objective blood measures varied between Norwegian youth following different plant-based diets compared to omnivorous diet.
Methods: Cross-sectional design, with healthy 16-to-24-year-olds (n = 165) recruited from the Agder area in Norway, following a vegan, lacto-ovo-vegetarian, pescatarian, flexitarian or omnivore diet.
Literature indicates a potential association between dairy consumption and risk of Parkinson´s disease (PD), especially among men, yet the results remain inconclusive. We investigated this association in a large prospective European cohort. Dietary and non-dietary data was collected from 183,225 participants of the EPIC-for-Neurodegenerative-Diseases (EPIC4ND) cohort, a sub-cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort.

- Previous studies hinted at a link between body fat and penile cancer risk, but evidence was limited; this study analyzed 829,081 Norwegian men to explore the relationship between BMI and penile cancer incidence.
- Over 25 million person-years of follow-up revealed that higher BMI was associated with increased risk of penile cancer, with significant hazard ratios for those with BMI over 30.
- The findings suggest that obesity correlates with higher penile cancer risk, indicating a need for more research to understand the underlying causes.
Article Synopsis
- A study examined the link between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of vulvar and vaginal cancer in a large group of Norwegian women, involving 889,441 participants aged 16-75.
- The results indicated that higher BMI is associated with an increased risk of both types of cancer, with significant hazard ratios (HRs) showing a strong connection for higher BMI groups.
- Notably, the risk appears to be greater when considering BMI during early adulthood, particularly for early-onset vaginal cancer, suggesting the need for further research to understand this relationship better.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk using the office-based Globorisk model, which doesn't require lab tests and relies on factors like age, sex, and lifestyle choices.
- The research involved 6810 individuals from the Fasa cohort study without previous CVD history, categorizing them into low, moderate, and high-risk groups based on their predicted risk.
- The results revealed demographic and lifestyle factors affecting CVD risk differently for men and women, underscoring the importance of addressing these factors in prevention strategies.
