This category presents findings of subgroups of vegetables or fruits, which could not be categorized into known subgroups. Findings are not discussed, but are presented to express transparency of findings.

| 18) Vrieling A (2009) | The EPIC Study | 478,400 subjects from 10 European countries. | 8.9 (1991-2000 to 2002-2007) | 555 | Invasive exocrine pancreatic cancer incidence | Other fruit and fruit not-specified (e.g. kiwis, bananas). |
HR = 0.97 (0.73-1.28; P = 0.76) for the highest vs lowest quartile of consumption. Amount specific data (g/day): < 17: HR = 1. 17-45: HR = 1.03 (0.81-1.30). 45-95: HR = 1.00 (0.78-1.29). > 95: HR = 0.97 (0.73-1.28). | Stratified by age at entry, sex and center. Adjusted for energy from fat, energy from non-fat, weight, height, history of diabetes, and smoking status. Waist-to-hip ratio, alcohol, red meat and processed meat intake, and education did not markedly change the risk estimates. |
