It is suggested that, to minimize possible spurious associations, epidemiologic studies of diet, demography, or lifestyle and health take dietary supplement use into account because of supplements' large contribution to nutrient intake and differential use of supplements by demographic and lifestyle characteristics.
Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus: role of obesity and diet.
- L. Brown, C. Swanson, A. Schwartz
- MedicineJournal of the National Cancer Institute
- 18 January 1995
The findings of an increased risk with obesity and decreased risks with intake of raw fruits and vegetables and dietary fiber provide useful directions to pursue in further investigations of this malignancy.

Dietary and nutritional factors and pancreatic cancer: a case-control study based on direct interviews.
- D. Silverman, C. Swanson, R. Hoover
- MedicineJournal of the National Cancer Institute
- 18 November 1998
Obesity is a risk factor for pancreatic cancer and appears to contribute to the higher risk of this disease among blacks than among whites in the United States, particularly among women.
Dietary associations in a case-control study of endometrial cancer
- N. Potischman, C. Swanson, R. Hoover
- MedicineCancer Causes and Control
- 1 May 1993
Data imply an etiologic role for a diet rich in total fat and/or animal fat and low in complex carbohydrates with endometrial cancer, which is consistent with a hormonal mechanism and were independent of the associations of obesity and other risk factors.
Dietary factors and risks for prostate cancer among blacks and whites in the United States.
- R. Hayes, R. Ziegler, R. Hoover
- MedicineCancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention
- 1999
Risks for advanced prostate cancer were higher with greater intake of foods high in animal fat among blacks and whites and a reduction of fat from animal sources in the diet could lead to decreased incidence and mortality rates for prostate cancer, particularly among American blacks.
Risk of breast cancer classified by joint estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor status among women 20-44 years of age.
- J. Britton, M. Gammon, L. Brinton
- MedicineAmerican Journal of Epidemiology
- 15 September 2002
Heterogeneity between ER+PR+ and ER-PR- tumors was most pronounced in relation to age, race, and recreational exercise at 12-13 years of age, and these findings only modestly support the hypothesis that hormonally related risk factors have differing relations with ER+.
Selenium intake, age, gender, and smoking in relation to indices of selenium status of adults residing in a seleniferous area.
- C. Swanson, M. Longnecker, W. Willett
- MedicineAmerican Journal of Clinical Nutrition
- 1 November 1990
Men and women had similar mean values of serum, whole blood, and toenail selenium despite higherSelenium intakes in men and women, and smokers had lower tissue Selenium concentrations than did nonsmokers due, at least in part, to lower seenium intake.
Pregnancy Characteristics and Maternal Risk of Breast Cancer
- R. Troisi, H. Weiss, L. Brinton
- MedicineEpidemiology
- 1 November 1998
The data provide little support for the hypothesis that pregnancy hormone levels are associated with subsequent maternal risk of breast cancer in young women, although there is some evidence for reductions in risk for toxemia.
Case-control study of endogenous steroid hormones and endometrial cancer.
- N. Potischman, R. Hoover, J. Lurain
- MedicineJournal of the National Cancer Institute
- 21 August 1996
High endogenous levels of unopposed estrogen are related to increased risk of endometrial cancer, but their independence from other risk factors is inconsistent with being a common underlying biologic pathway through which all risk factors for endometrian cancer operate.
