May AM, Adema LE, Romaguera D, et al., 2012, Determinants of non- response to a second assessment of lifestyle factors and body weight in the EPIC-PANACEA study, BMC Medical Research Methodology, Vol: 12, ISSN: 1471-2288
Background: This paper discusses whether baseline demographic, socio-economic, health variables, length offollow-up and method of contacting the participants predict non-response to the invitation for a secondassessment of lifestyle factors and body weight in the European multi-center EPIC-PANACEA study.Methods: Over 500.000 participants from several centers in ten European countries recruited between 1992 and2000 were contacted 2–11 years later to update data on lifestyle and body weight. Length of follow-up as well asthe method of approaching differed between the collaborating study centers. Non-responders were compared withresponders using multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results: Overall response for the second assessment was high (81.6%). Compared to postal surveys, centers wherethe participants completed the questionnaire by phone attained a higher response. Response was also high incenters with a short follow-up period. Non-response was higher in participants who were male (odds ratio 1.09(confidence interval 1.07; 1.11), aged under 40 years (1.96 (1.90; 2.02), living alone (1.40 (1.37; 1.43), less educated(1.35 (1.12; 1.19), of poorer health (1.33 (1.27; 1.39), reporting an unhealthy lifestyle and who had either a low(<18.5 kg/m2, 1.16 (1.09; 1.23)) or a high BMI (>25, 1.08 (1.06; 1.10); especially ≥30 kg/m2, 1.26 (1.23; 1.29)).Conclusions: Cohort studies may enhance cohort maintenance by paying particular attention to the subgroupsthat are most unlikely to respond and by an active recruitment strategy using telephone interviews.

Background: Waist circumference (WC) is a simple and reliable measure of fat distribution that may add to the prediction oftype 2 diabetes (T2D), but previous studies have been too small to reliably quantify the relative and absolute risk of futurediabetes by WC at different levels of body mass index (BMI).Methods and Findings: The prospective InterAct case-cohort study was conducted in 26 centres in eight Europeancountries and consists of 12,403 incident T2D cases and a stratified subcohort of 16,154 individuals from a total cohort of340,234 participants with 3.99 million person-years of follow-up. We used Prentice-weighted Cox regression and randomeffects meta-analysis methods to estimate hazard ratios for T2D. Kaplan-Meier estimates of the cumulative incidence of T2Dwere calculated. BMI and WC were each independently associated with T2D, with WC being a stronger risk factor in womenthan in men. Risk increased across groups defined by BMI and WC; compared to low normal weight individuals (BMI 18.5–22.4 kg/m2) with a low WC (,94/80 cm in men/women), the hazard ratio of T2D was 22.0 (95% confidence interval 14.3;33.8) in men and 31.8 (25.2; 40.2) in women with grade 2 obesity (BMI$35 kg/m2) and a high WC (.102/88 cm). Among thelarge group of overweight individuals, WC measurement was highly informative and facilitated the identification of asubgroup of overweight people with high WC whose 10-y T2D cumulative incidence (men, 70 per 1,000 person-years;women, 44 per 1,000 person-years) was comparable to that of the obese group (50–103 per 1,000 person-years in men and28–74 per 1,000 person-years in women).Conclusions: WC is independently and strongly associated with T2D, particularly in women, and should be more widelymeasured for risk stratification. If targeted measurement is necessary for reasons of resource scarcity, measuring WC inoverweight individuals may be an effective strategy, since it identifies a high-risk subgroup of individuals who coul

Rohrmann S, Grote VA, Becker S, et al., 2012, Concentrations of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 and pancreatic cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, British Journal of Cancer, Vol: 106, Pages: 1004-1010, ISSN: 1532-1827
BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and their binding proteins (BPs) regulate cell differentiation, proliferation andapoptosis, and may have a role in the aetiology of various cancers. Information on their role in pancreatic cancer is limited and wasexamined here in a case – control study nested within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition.METHODS: Serum concentrations of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in 422 cases and422 controls matched on age, sex, study centre, recruitment date, and time since last meal. Conditional logistic regression was used tocompute odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) adjusted for confounding variables.RESULTS: Neither circulating levels of IGF-I (OR¼ 1.21, 95% CI 0.75–1.93 for top vs bottom quartile, P-trend 0.301), IGFBP-3 (OR¼ 1.00, 95%CI 0.66–1.51, P-trend 0.79), nor the molar IGF-I/IGFBP-3 ratio, an indicator of free IGF-I level (OR¼ 1.22, 95% CI 0.75–1.97, P-trend 0.27),were statistically significantly associated with the risk of pancreatic cancer. In a cross-classification, however, a high concentration of IGF-I withconcurrently low levels of IGFBP-3 was related to an increased risk of pancreatic cancer (OR¼ 1.72, 95% CI 1.05–2.83; P-interaction¼ 0.154).CONCLUSION: On the basis of these results, circulating levels of components of the IGF axis do not appear to be the risk factors for pancreaticcancer. However, on the basis of the results of a subanalysis, it cannot be excluded that a relatively large amount of IGF-1 together with verylow levels of IGFBP-3 might still be associated with an increase in pancreatic cancer risk
