However, less is known about the association with cancers in different subsites of the colon and in the rectum. The aim of this study was to examine associations between pre-diagnostic intake of vitamin D and risk of CRC by anatomical subsites. Data from 95\u00a0416 participants in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Cohort Study was included, and vitamin D intake was estimated from two repeated FFQ. Associations between vitamin D intake and incidence of CRC were assessed using multivariable Cox regression. During follow-up, there were 1774 incident cases of CRC. A small but borderline significant inverse association was found for a 5-\u00b5g increase in vitamin D intake and risk of CRC (hazard ratio (HR) = 0\u00b797; 95 % CI 0\u00b793, 1\u00b701) and colon cancer (HR = 0\u00b796; 95 % CI 0\u00b791, 1\u00b701). High (\u2265 20 \u00b5g) compared with low (&lt; 10 \u00b5g) vitamin D intake was associated with 17 % borderline significant reduced risk of CRC (HR = 0\u00b783; 95 % CI 0\u00b768, 1\u00b702). Medium (10\u201319 \u00b5g) <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic>. low intake (&lt; 10 \u00b5g) was associated with 27 % reduced risk of proximal colon cancer (HR = 0\u00b773; 95 % CI 0\u00b757, 0\u00b794). No significant associations were observed between vitamin D intake and risk of distal colon or rectal cancer. Our study indicates that vitamin D may be differently associated with subsites of the colon. The association between vitamin D intake and proximal colon cancer is novel.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007114523000077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,9]],"date-time":"2023-01-09T09:11:31Z","timestamp":1673255491000},"page":"1047-1055","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Pre-diagnostic intake of vitamin D and incidence of colorectal cancer by anatomical subsites: the Norwegian Women and Cancer Cohort Study (NOWAC)"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"130","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2710-0269","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elise Marlen","family":"Paulsen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charlotta","family":"Rylander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0114-5271","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magritt","family":"Brustad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Torill E","family":"Jensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007114523000077_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1475-2891-5-4"},{"key":"S0007114523000077_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/kwk069"},{"key":"S0007114523000077_ref25","unstructured":"25.
