abstract = {Colon cancer is strongly influenced by lifestyle factors.
Sociodemographic factors like sex and socioeconomic position
(SEP) might modulate the relationship between lifestyle and
colon cancer risk. Metabolomics offers potential to uncover
biological mechanisms linking lifestyle and colon
cancer.Lifestyle and untargeted metabolomic data were
available from a nested case-control study within the
European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition
(EPIC), including 1,067 colon cancer cases and 1,067
controls matched on age, sex, study centre, and blood
collection time. Serum samples were analyzed using liquid
chromatography-mass spectrometry. The Healthy Lifestyle
Index (HLI) score was derived from smoking habits, alcohol
intake, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, and diet.
Penalised regression was applied in controls to derive
metabolic signatures for the HLI and the lifestyle
components. Associations of lifestyle factors and the
metabolic signatures with colon cancer risk were estimated
in conditional logistic regression models, overall and by
sex and SEP.The HLI score was inversely associated with
colon cancer risk, with an odds ratio (OR) per 1-standard
deviation (SD) increment equal to 0.79; $95\%$ CI: 0.71,
0.87. The metabolic signature of HLI, comprising 130
features, was moderately correlated with HLI (r = 0.59;
$94\%$ CI: 0.56, 0.61), and was inversely associated with
colon cancer risk (OR = 0.86; $95\%$ CI: 0.78, 0.95). After
adjustment for the HLI score, the association of the
metabolic signature of HLI and colon cancer risk was null
(OR = 1.00, $95\%$ CI 0.88, 1.13). Associations of lifestyle
factors and the metabolic signature with colon cancer risk
were consistently stronger for men than for women and did
not differ by SEP.In this study across seven European
countries, healthy lifestyle was inversely associated with
colon cancer risk, with stronger associations in men than
women and no differences across SEP. However, the serum
metabolic signatures after adjustment for lifestyle factors
were not found to be associated with colon cancer risk,
suggesting that lifestyle impacts colon cancer through
mechanisms not captured by the signatures.},
