Consumption of trans-fatty acid and its association with colorectal adenomasLisa C Vinikoor
Department of Epidemiology, Center for Gastrointestinal Biology and Disease, School of Public Health, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 7555, USA
Am J Epidemiol 168:289-97. 2008..These results suggest that consumption of high amounts of trans-fatty acid may increase the risk of colorectal neoplasia, and they provide additional support to recommendations to limit trans-fatty acid consumption...
Cholecystectomy and the risk of recurrent colorectal adenomasLisa C Vinikoor
Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 7555, USA
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 16:1523-5. 2007..34; 95% CI, 0.97-1.85) but the 95% CIs included the null in both cases. We conclude that the increased risk for colorectal cancer following cholecystectomy seems to be due to a biological process occurring after the adenoma has developed...
Effects of racial density and income incongruity on pregnancy outcomes in less segregated communitiesLisa C Vinikoor

Reliability of variables on the North Carolina birth certificate: a comparison with directly queried values from a cohort studyLisa C Vinikoor
Department of Epidemiology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 7453, USA
Paediatr Perinat Epidemiol 24:102-12. 2010..With the exception of a few variables that differed by education, most variables did not differ by stratum of race or education. Our research further supports the use of birth certificates as a reliable source of population-level data...
Cholecystectomy and the risk of colorectal adenomasLisa C Vinikoor
Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of North Carolina, CB 7555, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 7555, USA
Dig Dis Sci 53:730-5. 2008..14 [95% CI 0.62-2.09]). Thus, we conclude that, although cholecystectomy is a risk factor for colorectal cancer, cholecystectomy is not a risk factor for colorectal adenomas...

Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA
Cancer Causes Control 21:171-80. 2010..98 (95%CI: 0.47, 2.05) and 0.87 (95%CI 0.42, 1.81), respectively]. In conclusion, high consumption of trans-fatty acids was positively associated with distal colorectal cancer among Whites...

University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 7555, USA
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 18:1239-42. 2009..No association was present among African Americans. Insulin use was also positively associated with rectal cancer among Whites...

Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
Nutr Cancer 61:427-36. 2009..In conclusion, trans fatty acid consumption is not associated with colon cancer and does not contribute to disparities in colon cancer rates...
