Pre-diagnostic 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and subsite-specific colorectal cancer risk: a nested case-control study from the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study (NOWAC).

Colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common cancer globally, causes over 900 000 deaths annually. Although vitamin D is observed to have potential anti-carcinogenic properties, research findings on its preventable effect against CRC remain inconclusive. Notably, different subsites within the colon and rectum may be associated with distinct risk factors.

Plasma Concentration of 36 (Poly)phenols and Prospective Body Weight Change in Participants from the EPIC Cohort.

Introduction: Dietary intake of (poly)phenols has been linked to reduced adiposity and body weight (BW) in several epidemiological studies. However, epidemiological evidence on (poly)phenol biomarkers, particularly plasma concentrations, is scarce. We aimed to investigate the associations between plasma (poly)phenols and prospective BW change in participants from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort.

Empirically derived dietary patterns in relation to periodontitis and number of teeth among Norwegian adults.

Objectives: To explore dietary patterns in relation to periodontitis and number of teeth.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Setting: We used data from the seventh survey of the Tromsø Study in Norway, 2015-2016.

Vitamin D - a scoping review for Nordic nutrition recommendations 2023.

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient. Its role in calcium and phosphorous metabolism, and in the development and maintenance of a healthy skeleton is well documented. In addition, there is some evidence for vitamin D decreasing total mortality and cancer mortality modestly, but not cancer incidence.
