EPIC-Italy at HuGeF
This Series contains data from 845 participants (188 men and 657 women) in the EPIC-Italy cohort that was produced at the Human Genetics Foundation (HuGeF) in Turin, Italy. At the last follow-up (2010), 424 participants remained cancer-free, 235 had developed primary breast cancer, 166 had developed primary colorectal cancer, and 20 had developed other primary cancers. Anthropometric measurements, and dietary and lifestyle information obtained by questionnaire are also available.

Deep data QC
metadata only · no data-level QC for this typeStandardized, field-standard QC computed by touching the data — every metric states how it was obtained
No quantitative QC rubric exists for this data type yet, so it is deliberately left unscored — this is an honest "not applicable", not a poor rating.
measured = computed from the data · extrapolated/reported = derived or from the repository · dq-1.0 · provisional — verify independently
Scientific quality
Based on hands-on reproduction of the papers that use this dataset. A reproducible paper that stands on this data is positive evidence; a flagged one is a prompt to look closer — never a verdict on the dataset itself without the evidence.
