Longitudinal biobanks-based study on the joint effects of infections, nutrition and hormones on risk of prostate cancer.

Conclusion A large follow-up study combining data from several previously investigated exposures to investigate joint effects found no evidence that exposure to two risk factors would increase the risk of prostate cancer from that expected on basis of exposure to one risk factor. If anything, the results were consistent with antagonistic interactions.
