Summary: In this prospective cohort study, genetic and lifestyle factors were found to be independently associated with incident TC, suggesting that a healthier lifestyle may attenuate the deleterious influence of genetics on the risk of TC in individuals of European descent.

Summary: The distribution of lip, oral cavity, and pharynx (LOCP) cancer mortality rates in small domains in Spain remains unknown. This study provides a detailed description of LOCP mortality rates by province, age group, and gender, revealing that males have higher mortality rates than females and these rates increase with age. Regions in the north of Spain show the highest LOCP cancer mortality rates.

Summary: This study investigated the association between adherence to World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) lifestyle advice and the risk of 13 types of cancer, as well as the potential interaction with genetic risk. The findings suggest that adhering to WCRF lifestyle recommendations has beneficial associations with most cancers, and the protective effect is more significant for individuals at higher genetic risk for certain cancers.

Summary: The study aimed to identify latent classes based on lifestyle behavior trajectories and investigate their association with cancer risk. The research found that only a small percentage of participants maintained a long-term healthy lifestyle, highlighting the importance of linking behavior combinations to cancer prevention.

Summary: Smoking is associated with a decreased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) in a dose-response relationship. Light alcohol consumption may also be associated with a decreased risk of PD. Initiating smoking, drinking, or both may also decrease the risk of PD in non-smoking and non-drinking individuals.

Summary: Smoking and genetic predisposition are independent risk factors for colorectal cancer, and considering both factors together can provide powerful risk stratification. Abstaining from smoking can compensate for a substantial proportion of genetically determined CRC risk.

Summary: Despite a modest association between tobacco smoking and breast cancer risk reported by recent epidemiological studies, the Mendelian randomisation study provides supportive evidence for a potential causal association with breast cancer risk for lifetime smoking exposure but not cigarettes per day among smokers. Sensitivity analyses yielded similar results and showed no strong evidence of pleiotropic effect.

Summary: The study found that cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and combined use of both had varying effects on sleep quality and duration among older adults in China. Former users and current smokers were more likely to transition into non-recommended sleep duration, while older adults who used both cigarettes and alcohol were less likely to experience worsening sleep quality. Further research with experimental data is needed to explore the impact of cigarettes and alcohol on sleep among Chinese older adults.

Summary: In Tanzania, low International Wealth Index, smoking, household second-hand smoke exposure, daily intake of spicy chilies and salted foods were associated with an increased risk of ESCC, while daily consumption of raw greens, fruit, and smoked fish was protective. Permanent residence in the Central, Northern-Lake, or Southern Highlands zones of Tanzania compared with the Eastern zone was associated with an increased risk of ESCC.

Summary: The European Food Safety Authority's downward revision of the Health-based Guidance Value for bisphenol A (BPA) has led to disagreements with other regulatory agencies, particularly the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment. The differing views between EFSA and BfR are driven by their respective selection of endpoints and study evaluation systems, as well as their acceptance or refusal of immunotoxic effects as a basis for establishing a Health-based Guidance Value.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the exposure of e-waste workers to phthalates and alternative plasticizers. The results showed that e-waste workers had higher urinary concentrations of phthalates and metabolites compared to non-occupationally exposed controls. However, no significant differences were found between pre-and post-shift concentrations in the e-waste workers.
