The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-Potsdam Study is a population-based prospective cohort study. It includes around 27,500 participants and is part of a European collaborative project of prospective cohort studies in ten European countries with a total of around 521,000 study participants. EPIC was developed to examine the relationships between diet, nutritional status, lifestyle and environmental factors, as well as the incidence of cancer and other chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes.
