(author), Wolk, A. (author), Zeleniuch-Jacquotte, A. (author), Hunter, D.J. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)Objective: Studies of folate intake and colorectal cancer risk have been inconsistent. We examined the relation with colon cancer risk in a series of 13 prospective studies. Methods: Study-and sex-specific relative risks (RRs) were estimated from the primary data using Cox proportional hazards models and then pooled using a random-effects model....article 2010
