The BORICC Follow-Up (BFU) Study builds on the findings from the BORICC Study where the investigators observed associations between age and nutritional factors, including selenium and folate, and biomarkers of colorectal health.
The BFU Study will investigate the relationships between ageing (12+ years) and such biomarkers longitudinally. It is anticipated that the project will produce novel data on (i) changes in biomarkers of colorectal cancer risk with age and (ii) the effects of obesity and lifestyle factors on biomarkers of colorectal cancer risk. These biomarkers include differentially expressed proteins, DNA methylation markers and inflammation markers.
