The low probability of unregulated drinking that occurs during the sleeping period is correlated with a weak cumulative water intake (12 ± 4 ml) and a moderate increase (2.1%) in ECF [Na+].
In multivariate models, significant interaction effects suggest that the parent child association in diet was weaker for fat intake among parents with higher educational attainment (b= .31; P<0.05) and for snacking among adolescent boys (b= .30; P<.05).
In the EPIC study (Ferrari et al, 2007), the effect was a bit weaker, with alcohol intake at study baseline increasing colorectal cancer risk by 9% per 15 g per day, a risk greater for rectal cancer than for cancer of the distal colon, which in turn was greater than the risk for cancer of the proximal colon.
The Eliminet (smallest mesh) only showed a weak trend in reduced intake in grams per minute translating to a significantly increased intake time per 1 kg of hay compared to the Large haynet (Eliminet 33 min, Furlong 29 min, Haylage 28 min, Large 25 min; p < 0.01) when excluding acclimatisation data (beginning).
The observed weak link between salt intake and gastric cancer in women may also be due to relatively low validity of estimated salt intake (Tsubono et al, 2003).
