Blood glucose and risk of incident and fatal cancer in the metabolic syndrome and cancer project (me-can): analysis of six prospective cohorts
Stocks, Tanja; Rapp, Kilian; Bjørge, Tone; Manjer, Jonas; Ulmer, Hanno; Selmer, Randi Marie; Lukanova, Annekatrin; Johansen, Dorthe; Concin, Hans; Tretli, Steinar; Hallmans, Göran; Jonsson, Håkan; Stattin, Pär (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-12-22)Background: Prospective studies have indicated that elevated blood glucose levels may be linked with increased cancer risk, but the strength of the association is unclear. We examined the association between blood glucose ... -
Body mass index, triglyceride-glucose index, and prostate cancer death: a mediation analysis in eight European cohorts
Fritz, Josef; Jochems, Sylvia H. J.; Bjørge, Tone; Wood, Angela M.; Häggström, Christel; Ulmer, Hanno; Nagel, Gabriele; Zitt, Emanuel; Engeland, Anders; Harlid, Sophia; Drake, Isabel; Stattin, Pär; Stocks, Tanja (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background Insulin resistance is a hypothesised biological mechanism linking obesity with prostate cancer (PCa) death. Data in support of this hypothesis is limited. Methods We included 259,884 men from eight European ... -
The Inverse Association of Body Mass Index with Lung Cancer: Exploring Residual Confounding, Metabolic Aberrations and Within-Person Variability in Smoking
Wood, Angela M.; Jonsson, Håkan; Nagel, Gabriele; Häggström, Christel; Manjer, Jonas; Ulmer, Hanno; Engeland, Anders; Zitt, Emanuel; Jochems, Sylvia; Ghaderi, Sara; Stattin, Pär; Bjørge, Tone; Stocks, Tanja (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: The inverse observational association between body mass index (BMI) and lung cancer risk remains unclear. We assessed whether the association is explained by metabolic aberrations, residual confounding, and ... -
Linear age-course effects on the associations between body mass index, triglycerides, and female breast and male liver cancer risk: An internal replication study of 800,000 individuals
Häggström, Christel; Jonsson, Håkan; Bjørge, Tone; Nagel, Gabriele; Manjer, Jonas; Ulmer, Hanno; Drake, Isabel; Ghaderi, Sara; Lang, Alois; Engeland, Anders; Stattin, Pär; Stocks, Tanja (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Apart from the consistently observed differential association between obesity and breast cancer risk by menopausal status, the associations between obesity and other metabolic imbalances with risks of cancers have not been ... -
Metabolic factors and the risk of small intestine cancers: Pooled study of 800 000 individuals in the metabolic syndrome and cancer project
Nagel, Gabriele; Bjørge, Tone; Jaensch, Andrea; Peter, Raphael Simon; Häggström, Christel; Lang, Alois; Engeland, Anders; Teleka, Stanley; Jirström, Karin; Lindquist, David; Stattin, Pär; Ulmer, Hanno; Concin, Hans; Stocks, Tanja (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)To explore the largely unknown etiology of small intestine cancer, we examinedmetabolic factors and risk of small intestine cancer overall and by subtypes. Among404 220 women and 403 265 men in six European cohorts, we ... -
Metabolic risk factors for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma: a prospective study of 580 000 subjects within the Me-Can project
Lindkvist, Björn; Johansen, Dorthe; Stocks, Tanja; Concin, Hans; Bjørge, Tone; Almquist, Martin; Häggström, Christel; Engeland, Anders; Hallmans, Göran; Nagel, Gabriele; Jonsson, Håkan; Selmer, Randi; Ulmer, Hanno; Tretli, Steinar; Stattin, Pär; Manjer, Jonas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-18)Background: Obesity is associated with an increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) and a decreased risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, little is known about the risk of EAC and ESCC related ... -
Metabolic risk score and cancer risk: pooled analysis of seven cohorts
Stocks, Tanja; Bjørge, Tone; Ulmer, Hanno; Manjer, Jonas; Häggström, Christel; Nagel, Gabriele; Engeland, Anders; Johansen, Dorthe; Hallmans, Göran; Selmer, Randi; Concin, Hans; Tretli, Steinar; Jonsson, Håkan; Stattin, Pär (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background: There are few data on the joint influence of metabolic factors on risk of separate cancers. Methods: We analysed data on body mass index, blood pressure and plasma levels of glucose, total cholesterol and ... -
Metabolically (un)healthy obesity and risk of obesity-related cancers: a pooled study
Sun, Ming; Fritz, Josef; Häggström, Christel; Bjørge, Tone; Nagel, Gabriele; Manjer, Jonas; Engeland, Anders; Zitt, Emanuel; Guelpen, Bethany van; Stattin, Pär; Ulmer, Hanno; Stocks, Tanja (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Studies of obesity with or without metabolic aberrations, commonly termed metabolically unhealthy or healthy obesity, in relation to cancer risk are scarce. Methods We investigated body mass index (normal ... -
