Mammographic density and dietary patterns: the multiethnic cohortYumie Takata
Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, USA
Eur J Cancer Prev 16:409-14. 2007..The influence of diet on mammographic densities, however, appears to be fairly small. Analyses of both dietary patterns and single dietary factors seem equally informative in examining dietary associations with percentage density...
IGF-I and mammographic density in four geographic locations: a pooled analysisGertraud Maskarinec
Cancer Research Center, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA
Int J Cancer 121:1786-92. 2007..Based on this analysis, the influence of circulating levels of IGF-I, IGFBP-3, and prolactin on percent density appears to be very small...
Serum insulin-like growth factor-I levels among women in Hawaii and Japan with different levels of tofu intakeYumie Takata
Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI, USA
Nutr Cancer 56:136-42. 2006..These findings suggest that a diet rich in soy foods and low in meats may be related to lower IGF-I levels, but it is unclear whether soy or other characteristics of diet and lifestyle are responsible for this association...
Insulin-like growth factor-1 and binding protein-3 in a 2-year soya intervention among premenopausal womenGertraud Maskarinec
Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, 1236 Lauhala Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA
Br J Nutr 94:362-7. 2005..Adding soya foods to the diet of premenopausal women does not appear to lower serum levels of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3; if anything, the greater protein intake from soya may lead to a small increase in IGF-1 serum levels...
Trends of breast cancer incidence and risk factor prevalence over 25 yearsGertraud Maskarinec
Cancer Research Center, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA
Breast Cancer Res Treat 98:45-55. 2006..To examine the trends in the prevalence of breast cancer risk factors in relation to breast cancer incidence trends and to explore whether the changes in risk factors differed by ethnicity in Hawaii over a 25-year period...
Soy intake is related to a lower body mass index in adult womenGertraud Maskarinec
Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, 1236 Lauhala Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA
Eur J Nutr 47:138-44. 2008..Experimental and epidemiologic studies suggest that soy may promote weight loss...
A 2-year soy intervention in premenopausal women does not change mammographic densitiesGertraud Maskarinec
Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI, USA
J Nutr 134:3089-94. 2004..After 2 y of intervention, we observed no significant differences in mammographic densities by intervention status, but it appears that soy consumption throughout life may have some effect on breast density...
Trends and dietary determinants of overweight and obesity in a multiethnic populationGertraud Maskarinec
Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, Honolulu, 96813, USA
Obesity (Silver Spring) 14:717-26. 2006..To describe trends in BMI among different ethnic groups in Hawaii and to explore the relation of nutrient and food intake with excess weight...
Alcohol and dietary fibre intakes affect circulating sex hormones among premenopausal womenGertraud Maskarinec
Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, 1236 Lauhala Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA
Public Health Nutr 9:875-81. 2006..The association of alcohol and fibre intake with breast cancer may be mediated by circulating sex hormone levels, which are predictors of breast cancer risk...
Alcohol consumption and mammographic density in a multiethnic populationGertraud Maskarinec
Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA
Int J Cancer 118:2579-83. 2006..The larger difference in some subgroups suggests that women with certain characteristics may be more susceptible to the influence of alcohol on breast density than others...
Breast density and polymorphisms in genes coding for CYP1A2 and COMT: the Multiethnic CohortYumie Takata
Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, 1236 Lauhala Street, Honolulu, HI, USA
BMC Cancer 7:30. 2007..This cross-sectional analysis examined the relation between mammographic density and the CYP1A2*1F and COMT Val58 Met polymorphisms among 332 breast cancer cases and 254 controls in the Hawaii component of the Multiethnic Cohort...
The relation between nutritional factors and insulin-like growth factor-I in premenopausal women of different ethnicityGertraud Maskarinec

Eur J Nutr 44:105-13. 2005..Alterations in the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) system have been proposed as a metabolic link between nutritional factors and cancer risk...

Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, 1236 Lauhala Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA
Public Health Nutr 7:319-26. 2004..This study illustrates several problems related to dietary comparisons across populations and provides information for future investigations on chronic disease risk...
