Title
Metabolomic Profiles of Ultra-Processed vs. Unprocessed/Minimally Processed Foods in Cancer Risk Prediction: Examining Effect Modification by Smoking- and Obesity-Related Metabolites
Summary
Ultra-Processed and Unprocessed/Minimally Processed Foods -related metabolomic profiles will be determined and their associations with risk of cancer will be evaluated by considering role of smoking and obesity related metabolites
Aims

Aim 1. Evaluate the associations between metabolomic profiles of ultra-processed vs. unprocessed/minimally processed foods and cancer incidence
Aim 2. Evaluate the effect modification of smoking- and obesity-related metabolites in associations between metabolomic profiles of ultra-processed and unprocessed/minimally processed foods and cancer incidence
