Diet And Breast Cancer: Experiences From The Malmö Diet Cancer Cohort
The Malmö Diet Cancer (MDC) group is a population-based cohort (n = 28 098) among Malmö inhabitants,aged 45-73 years at the time of baseline examinations in 1991-1996. Data collectionregarding socio-demography, anthropometry and lifestyle was extensive, and included nonfastingblood samples. A high v...
