Summary: The study found a significant association between low 25(OH)D concentration during pregnancy and the risk of preeclampsia in a Chinese population. Pregnant women with low 25(OH)D concentrations had a higher risk of developing preeclampsia, and this biomarker may be used for surveillance of high-risk pregnant women. Further meta-analysis confirmed that low 25(OH)D concentrations were consistently associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia.

Summary: There is no significant association between dietary intake and ovarian cancer risk overall, but consuming high amounts of green leafy vegetables, allium vegetables, fiber, flavonoids, and green tea can significantly reduce the risk of ovarian cancer. Additionally, intake of total fat, saturated fat, saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, and retinol can significantly increase the risk of ovarian cancer. Acrylamide, nitrate, water disinfectants, and polychlorinated biphenyls are also significantly associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer.

Summary: Evidence suggests that BDN legislation increases the overall utilization of supplemental screening by 0.5-143%. This effect is amplified if the notification includes a follow-up telephone call informing women about additional screening benefits, and if the state's law mandates insurance cover for supplemental screening. Likelihood of supplemental screening is also influenced by factors such as history of breast biopsy and family history of breast cancer, race, age, socioeconomic status, density category, and physician's specialty and region. Some studies reported increases in biopsy rate (up to 4%) and cancer detection rate (up to 11%) after implementation of BDN legislation.
