In the early 1990s, the Cancer Foundation initiated a large cohort study with the primary goal of investigating the relationship between diet and subsequent cancer risk. The MDC study was led by the professor of internal medicine, Göran Berglund, and the professor of epidemiology, Lars Janzon. Between 1991 and 1996, 17,000 women were recruited (born 1923-1950) and 11,000 men (born 1923-1945), whic

EPIC was set up to investigate relationships between diet, nutrition, lifestyle and environmental factors and the onset of cancer and other chronic diseases. EPIC is the largest study ever made of diet and health, involving over half a million people in ten European countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, United Kingdom and Sweden.Researchers at EPIC are
The dietary method used in the Malmö Diet Cancer is specially developed for the study. The choice of method was guided by the need to estimate the total diet in a middle-aged to elderly population, where eating habits largely consisted of regular, home cooked meals with meals eaten less often outside the home. The method consists of three parts:a Menu book, that is, a 7-day food diarya Dietary his
