Objectives:
Does dietary intake of fiber reduce risk of endometrial cancer?

Study design:
This review article included 16 studies, involving 6,563 cases (persons with endometrial cancer).

Results and conclusions:
The investigators found dietary fiber intake significantly reduced risk of endometrial cancer with 14% [RR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.78 to 0.93].
In stratified analysis, this trend was more pronounced in the case-control studies and in studies conducted in the Americas and Asia.

Objectives:
Which factors increase risk of dementia?

Study design:
This review article included 34 prospective cohort studies, among which 24 were eligible for meta-analysis. A total of 159,594 non-demented adults were enrolled at baseline before 65 years and 13,540 people were diagnosed with dementia after follow-up.

Results and conclusions:
The investigators found obesity significantly increased risk of dementia with 78% [RR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.31-2.41].

Objectives:
Previous findings on the associations of legume and soy intake with the risk of type 2 diabetes are conflicting. Therefore, this review article (meta-analysis) has been conducted.

Study design:

Objectives:
Lead is a known risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the results of studies exploring the relationship between lead exposure and the occurrence of ALS are inconsistent. Therefore, this review article has been conducted.

Does a high lead exposure increase risk of ALS?

Objectives:

The pooled mean birth weight, length and head circumference values and 95% confidence intervals were estimated in newborns born to women with UIC  150 μg/L and UIC ≥150 μg/L during pregnancy.

Objectives:
Genistein (4',5,7-trihydroxyisoflavone) is a phytoestrogen with potential health benefits in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. However, the evidence regarding its effects on hypertension has not been conclusive. Therefore, this review article has been conducted.
