Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the association of fruit, vegetable, and pulses consumption with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality.
Study Design: This prospective study included 66,933 individuals from three Spanish health surveys linked to the national death registry up to December 2022.
Methods: Adjusted Poisson regression models were used to analyze the data, categorizing fruit, vegetable and pulses intake according to Spanish dietary recommendations and using splines to examine non-linear relationships.
Background: Mammographic density (MD) is a well-established risk factor for breast cancer. Air pollution is a major public health concern and a recognized carcinogen. We aim to investigate the association between MD and exposure to specific air pollutants (SO, CO, NO, NO, NO, PM, PM, and O) in premenopausal females.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how following cancer prevention guidelines from the WCRF/AICR affects the health-related quality of life (HRQL) in breast cancer survivors over a long period, specifically comparing their status at diagnosis and 7-12 years later.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 406 breast cancer survivors, collecting information on lifestyle, diet, physical activity, and HRQL using a scoring system based on WCRF/AICR recommendations.
- - Results indicate that higher adherence to these cancer prevention guidelines is linked to slight improvements in the physical aspect of HRQL over time, while no significant change was found in the mental HRQL domain.
Background: Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most frequent tumor in men worldwide; however, its etiology remains largely unknown, with the exception of age and family history. The wide variability in incidence/mortality across countries suggests a certain role for environmental exposures that has not yet been clarified.
Objective: To evaluate the association between risk of PC (by clinical profile) and residential proximity to pollutant industrial installations (by industrial groups, groups of carcinogens, and specific pollutants released), within the context of a Spanish population-based multicase-control study of incident cancer (MCC-Spain).
Background: Mammographic density (MD) is the most important breast cancer biomarker. Ambient pollution is a carcinogen, and its relationship with MD is unclear. This study aims to explore the association between exposure to traffic pollution and MD in premenopausal women.
