| Research Abstract |
Melatonin concentrations of about 120 foods were measured and used as basic data to estimate melatonin intake from diet through a food frequency questionnaire. Associations of melatonin intake with the risk of menopause and mortality from cancer and cardiovascular disease were assessed in a cohort. A high melatonin intake was associated with a decreased risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease in women. Urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin was measured among children and its associations with lifestyle factors and hormone levels were assessed.
