Peilu Wang et al.

Summary: This study compared the associations between the Nurses' Health Study (NHS), Nurses' Health Study II (NHSII), and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS) with meta-analyses of cohort studies. The results showed a close resemblance in associations between the cohort-specific studies and the meta-analyses.

Reproducibility, Validity, and Relative Validity of Self-Report Methods for Assessing Physical Activity in Epidemiologic Studies: Findings From the Women's Lifestyle Validation Study

Laila Al-Shaar et al.

Summary: In this study, the performance of a self-administered physical activity questionnaire (PAQ) and web-based 24-hour recalls (ACT24) was evaluated using multiple comparison methods. Results showed that the PAQ had reasonable validity for total physical activity (PA) and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA).

A comparison of methods in estimating population attributable risk for colorectal cancer in the United States

Hanseul Kim et al.

Summary: Population attributable risk (PAR) is increasingly used to quantify the preventability of cancer, with wide-ranging estimations causing questions about true preventability. This study compared two PAR estimation methods for colorectal cancer and found that the choice of risk factors and relative risks significantly influenced the PAR estimates.

Dairy foods, calcium, and risk of breast cancer overall and for subtypes defined by estrogen receptor status: a pooled analysis of 21 cohort studies

You Wu et al.

Summary: The study found that overall dairy product and calcium intakes were not significantly associated with the risk of breast cancer, but higher intakes of yogurt and cottage/ricotta cheese may be inversely associated with the risk of ER-negative breast cancer.

Potential Impact of Time Trend of Lifestyle Risk Factors on Burden of Major Gastrointestinal Cancers in China

You Wu et al.

Summary: The study shows that in 2011, 56.5% of colorectal, 59.8% of gastric, 48.5% of esophageal, and 35.2% of liver cancers in China were attributable to lifestyle risk factors. Despite improvements in smoking, sodium intake, low vegetable intake, and low fruit intake, they are still far from optimal and are projected to cause significant numbers of GI cancer cases in 2031. High body mass index, red and processed meat consumption, and low physical activity are expected to contribute increasingly to GI cancer over time.
