Dietary fibre intake is associated with reduced risk of lung cancer: a Japan public health centre-based prospective study (JPHC)
ConclusionsIn men, a high intake of total dietary fibre may have preventive benefits for lung cancer incidence: dietary fibre intake from vegetables was associated with a lower incidence of lung cancer. However, similar associations did not appear in women. Further investigations are required to confirm the association between dietary fibre and lung cancer risk in women.

The relationship between blood pressure and risk of renal cell carcinoma
ConclusionThe results of this observational and MR study are consistent with an important role of DBP in RCC aetiology. The relation between SBP and RCC risk was less clear but does not appear to be independent of DBP. (Source: International Journal of Epidemiology)

Nitrites and nitrates from food additives and natural sources and cancer risk: results from the NutriNet-Sant é cohort
ConclusionFood additive nitrates and nitrites were positively associated with breast and prostate cancer risks, respectively. Although these results need confirmation in other large-scale prospective studies, they provide new insights in a context of lively debate around the ban of these additives from the food industry.

A phenome-wide bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis of atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsOur results suggest body mass index, height, systolic blood pressure and genetic liability to coronary artery disease are independent causal risk factors for AF. Several proteins, including DUSP13, IL-6R and TNFSF12, may have therapeutic potential for AF. (Source: International Journal of Epidemiology)

Exposure to source-specific air pollution and risk for type 2 diabetes: a nationwide study covering Denmark
ConclusionsOur finding of stronger associations with particulate matter from traffic compared with non-traffic sources implies that prevention strategies should focus on limiting traffic-related particulate matter air pollution. (Source: International Journal of Epidemiology)

Association between body mass index and oesophageal cancer mortality: a pooled analysis of prospective cohort studies with & gt;800  000 individuals in the Asia Cohort Consortium
ConclusionExtreme obesity and being underweight were associated with an OC mortality risk among Asians. OC mortality and BMI formed a wide J-shaped association mirrored by OSCC mortality. Although the effect of BMI on OSCC and oesophageal adenocarcinoma mortality can be different in Asians, further research based on a large case –control study is recommended.

Association between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and cardiovascular mortality in statin non-users: a prospective cohort study in 14.9 million Korean adults
ConclusionLDL-C had U-curve associations for CVD mortality. The associations and optimal ranges differed across CVD subtypes. Women and older adults had weaker positive associations than men and younger adults. Positive associations with ischaemic heart disease and ischaemic stroke were maintained in adults aged 75 –84 years. (Source: International Journal of Epidemiology)

Ambient air pollution, healthy diet and vegetable intakes, and mortality: a prospective UK Biobank study
ConclusionThis study provides evidence linking long-term exposure to various air pollutants to the risk of all-cause, CVD and CHD mortality, and the potential attenuation of a healthy diet, especially high vegetable intakes, on such relations. Our findings highlight the importance of adherence to a healthy diet in lowering ambient air-pollution-related mortality risk. (Source: International Journal of Epidemiology)
