Environmental and Nutritional Factors Significantly Associated with Cancer of the Urinary Tract Among Different Ethnic Groups

Dehydration in the elderly: A review focused on economic burden

“…Many studies looking at the clinical outcomes of dehydration have shown that decreased fluid intake has a direct impact on individuals' health status. Dehydration has been proved to be a major risk factor in the development of many diseases such as stone disease (9, 10) or it appears as a comorbid condition of multiple diseases such as mitral valve prolapse and salivary dysfunction (11,12) certain types of cancers (12)(13)(14), pulmonary diseases (15), heat failure (16), physical impairment (17)(18)(19)(20)(21) contributing to their deterioration (22) Dehydration is not only widespread among the elderly, but also an independent predictor of mortality. A number of studies have reported mortality rates associated with hypernatremia greater than 40% (23)(24)(25) and are commonly related to the underlying disease processes (24,25).…”

Olive oil intake and cancer risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…47 articles that resulted in 48 studies and explored the association between olive oil intake and cancer risk [ 33 , 36 – 80 ] or prognosis [ 81 ] were finally considered eligible ( Fig 1 ); 38 were case-control (18,303 cases and 29,109 controls, S3 Table in S1 File ) [ 33 , 36 – 54 , 56 , 57 , 60 – 70 , 73 , 76 , 78 , 79 ] and 10 were cohort studies (13,448 incident cases among a total cohort size equal to 955,609 subjects, S4 and S5 Tables in S1 File ) [ 55 , 58 , 59 , 71 , 72 , 74 , 75 , 77 , 80 , 81 ]. The study by Toledo et al .…”

“…Overall, 15 studies examined the association between olive oil consumption and the risk of breast cancer [ 38 – 40 , 42 , 50 , 51 , 54 , 59 , 63 , 66 – 68 , 75 , 78 , 80 ], one article reported on ovarian cancer [ 47 ], one on lung [ 77 ], three on gastric [ 37 , 61 , 72 ], six on colorectal [ 41 , 60 , 62 , 64 , 73 , 74 ], among which two provided data on colon and rectal cancers as well [ 41 , 64 ], one on both gastric and colorectal [ 57 ], one on pancreatic [ 43 ], nine on cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract [ 33 , 45 , 46 , 48 , 52 , 56 , 65 , 69 , 70 ] and six on urinary tract cancers (bladder [ 53 ], prostate [ 44 , 49 , 76 , 79 ], any site [ 36 ]). Two studies referred to the relationship with overall cancer mortality [ 55 , 58 ] and one with overall cancer risk [ 71 ].…”
