Methods: Fruit and vegetable consumptions in relation to BC risk was examined by pooling individual participant data from case–control studies. Unconditional logistic regression was used to estimate study-specific odds ratio’s (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and combined using a random-effects model for intakes of [...]
