Article Synopsis
- - This study examines the link between long-term alcohol consumption patterns and the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women, using data from nearly 29,000 women aged 50-65 from a Danish cohort.
- - Researchers identified four different alcohol consumption profiles and found that women whose average intake exceeded 10g per day had a significantly higher risk of developing breast cancer compared to those who consumed less than 6g per day.
- - The findings show that a consistent high alcohol intake throughout adulthood increased breast cancer risk, while women with lower alcohol intake during early adulthood who later increased their consumption did not show a higher risk compared to those with consistently low intake.

- This study investigated the relationship between transportation noise and atrial fibrillation (AF) using data from 11 Nordic cohorts, totaling over 161,000 participants.
- Researchers found that higher road traffic noise exposure is linked to an increased risk of developing AF, particularly in women and overweight individuals.
- Aircraft noise also showed a potential association with AF risk, while railway noise did not appear to be related; overall, road and aircraft noise combined raised the risk significantly.
Purpose: We aimed to investigate the associations between parental BMI and offspring BMI trajectories and to explore whether the parent-offspring BMI growth trajectory association differed according to family SEP or social mobility.
Methods: We used data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). Children's weight and height were collected from 1 to 18 years.
Background: Omega-3 fatty acids derived from seafood acids may influence cardiac arrhythmogenesis, whereas the role of the major plant-derived omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), on atrial fibrillation (AF) is largely unknown.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association between ALA intake and risk of incident AF overall and in subjects with a low intake of marine omega-3 fatty acids.
Methods: We followed a total of 54,260 middle-aged men and women enrolled into the Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health cohort for development of AF using nationwide registries.
