Cancer, Cardiovascular Diseases, Disease, Environmental Exposure
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of the project is to assess the associations between biomarkers of acrylamide and glycidol exposure and disease outcomes in a case-cohort study based on two prospective cohorts with biobanks. The investigators also aim to assess the exposure-affected OMICS signatures and molecular pathways underlying disease development (specifically cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke and cancer such as breast-, endometrial and colorectal cancer) for these exposures along with persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and per- and polyflouroalkyl substances (PFAS) using a prospective cohort study utilizing and integrating various 'OMICs' technologies.
Interventions
These are food contaminants (acrylamide, glycidol) and environmental pollutants (POPs, PFAS). Assess the associations between biomarkers of acrylamide and glycidol exposure and disease outcomes in a case-cohort study based on two prospective cohorts with biobanks. The investigators also aim to assess the exposure-affected OMICS signatures and molecular pathways underlying disease development (specifically cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke and cancer such as breast-, endometrial and colorectal cancer) for these exposures along with POPs and PFAS using a prospective cohort study utilizing and integrating various 'OMICs' technologies.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cardiovascular disease | From baseline beginning in 2003 through 2017 | Using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes to assess cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence (myocardial infarction and stroke, ICD10: I21 and I63) |
| Cancer | From baseline (2003 for SMC-C and 1997 for 60YO) until the latest available follow-up, currently 2021 | Using ICD codes to assess cancer (such as ICD-10: C18, C20, C50, C54) |
