Glycemic load, glycemic index, and pancreatic cancer risk in the Netherlands Cohort StudyMirjam M Heinen
Department of Epidemiology, Maastricht University, Maastricht, Netherlands
Am J Clin Nutr 87:970-7. 2008..Because insulin is secreted in response to elevated blood glucose concentrations, dietary factors that increase these concentrations may be important in pancreatic carcinogenesis...
Alcohol consumption and risk of pancreatic cancer in the Netherlands cohort studyMirjam M Heinen
Department of Epidemiology, Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands
Am J Epidemiol 169:1233-42. 2009..Overall, these findings suggest an increased pancreatic cancer risk for persons with a high ethanol intake (> or =30 g/day). However, this increased risk was observed only during the first 7 years of follow-up...- Meat and fat intake and pancreatic cancer risk in the Netherlands Cohort StudyMirjam M Heinen
Department of Epidemiology, Nutrition and Toxicology Research Institute Maastricht, Maastricht University, The Netherlands
Int J Cancer 125:1118-26. 2009..It is important for future studies to investigate the relation between different meat-cooking methods and pancreatic cancer... - Active and passive smoking and the risk of pancreatic cancer in the Netherlands Cohort StudyMirjam M Heinen
Department of Epidemiology, Faculty of Health, Medicine, and Life Sciences, Maastricht University Medical Centre, Maastricht, The Netherlands
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 19:1612-22. 2010..To date, cigarette smoking is the most consistent risk factor for pancreatic cancer. We prospectively examined the role of active cigarette smoking, smoking cessation, and passive smoking as determinants for pancreatic cancer... - Dietary glycemic load, glycemic index and colorectal cancer risk: results from the Netherlands Cohort StudyMatty P Weijenberg
Department of Epidemiology, Research Institute Growth and Development GROW, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands
Int J Cancer 122:620-9. 2008..03). Overall, our findings do not support the hypothesis that a diet with a high glycemic load or index is associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer... - Dietary folate and folate vitamers and the risk of pancreatic cancer in the Netherlands cohort studyAndras P Keszei
Department of Epidemiology, School for Oncology and Developmental Biology GROW, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 18:1785-91. 2009..When folate vitamers were analyzed separately, results did not show a difference in association. Our results do not support a protective association of total dietary folate or individual folate vitamers on the risk of pancreatic cancer... - Intake of vegetables, fruits, carotenoids and vitamins C and E and pancreatic cancer risk in The Netherlands Cohort StudyMirjam M Heinen
Department of Epidemiology, Nutrition and Toxicology Research Institute Maastricht, Maastricht University Medical Centre, Maastricht, The Netherlands
Int J Cancer 130:147-58. 2012..Furthermore, we observed no association between the intake of carotenoids, vitamins and vitamin supplements and pancreatic cancer risk... - Physical activity, energy restriction, and the risk of pancreatic cancer: a prospective study in the NetherlandsMirjam M Heinen
Nutrition and Toxicology Research Institute Maastricht, Department of Epidemiology, Maastricht University Medical Centre, Netherlands
Am J Clin Nutr 94:1314-23. 2011..Because of their influence on insulin concentrations, we hypothesized that both physical activity and energy restriction may reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer... - Preconception nutritional intake and lifestyle factors: first results of an explorative studySabina de Weerd

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 111:167-72. 2003..CONCLUSIONS: Nutritional intake of women in the preconception period appears to be inadequate. Efforts to increase awareness of a healthy diet and lifestyle before and throughout pregnancy should be continued...
