The main objective of EPIC Oxford is to examine how diet influences the risk of cancer, particularly for the most common types of cancer in Britain, as well as the risks of other chronic diseases. … To date, research in EPIC-Oxford has focused on the associations of diet, especially vegetarian diets, with the risks of cancer, Ischemic heart disease, other chronic diseases and mortality, as well as studies of the associations of diet with blood levels of nutrients, hormones, cholesterol and other biomarkers.
