Linkages between carbohydrates, obesity and cancer continue to demonstrate conflicting results. Evidence suggests inconclusive direct linkages between carbohydrates and specific cancers. Conversely, obesity has been strongly linked to a wide range of cancers. The purpose of the study is to explore linkages between carbohydrate intake and cancer types using a two-step approach. First the study will evaluate the linkages between carbohydrate intake and obesity, potentially stratified by metabolic syndrome status. Second, the estimated attributable fraction of obesity ascribed to carbohydrate intake will be multiplied against obesity attributable fractions for cancer types to give estimated overall attributable fraction for carbohydrate versus cancer type.

Free-to-view clinical trials register of clinical trials worldwide, it allows users to search, register and share information about randomized controlled trials. Publication services are also available via the range of open access peer-reviewed journals published by BioMed Central. Current Controlled Trials is run by an editorial and technical in-house team. It receives advice from an international Advisory Group, including academics, doctors and health care specialists of international renown. The Advisory Group provides valuable guidance on the current activities and possible new directions of Current Controlled Trials' two databases, the metaRegister of Controlled Trials (mRCT) and the International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number (ISRCTN) scheme.
View all literature mentionsA primary clinical trial registry which houses proposed, ongoing, and completed clinical research studies. An ISRCTN is a simple numeric system for the unique identification of randomized controlled trials worldwide. The registry provides content validation and curation and the unique identification number necessary for publication. Submitted studies range from cancer to urological diseases.
