Obesity and cancer: a gut microbial connection.
Multiple epidemiological studies have revealed that excess bodyweight, such as in people who are overweight or obese (defined by a body mass index higher than 25 kg/m(2)), is a major risk factor for not only diabetes and cardiovascular diseases but also cancer. Effective strategies for obesity prevention are therefore needed for cancer prevention. However, because the prevalence of excess bodyw...
متن کاملBMI and Lifetime Changes in BMI and Cancer Mortality Risk
Body Mass Index (BMI) is known to be associated with cancer mortality, but little is known about the link between lifetime changes in BMI and cancer mortality in both males and females. We studied the association of BMI measurements (at baseline, highest and lowest BMI during the study-period) and lifetime changes in BMI (calculated over different time periods (i.e. short time period: annual ch...
متن کاملHoming in on the fat and cancer connection.
C ancer researchers worldwide are increasingly focusing on the link between obesity and cancer. epi demiological studies over the past 30 years have consistently shown that diabetics and obese people have a higher risk of getting cancer than lean healthy people, and when they do get it their risk of dying from it is greater. But not all fat tissue is the same. Now researchers are focusing on h...
متن کاملMinireview: Obesity and breast cancer: the estrogen connection.
There is now substantial evidence that overweight and/or obesity and/or weight gain are risk factors for the development of postmenopausal breast cancer. In addition, obesity and/or elevated body mass index at breast cancer diagnosis has a negative impact on prognosis for both premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of how obesity affects the mammary tumor...
متن کاملCommon Variation in the Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated (FTO) Gene Confers Risk of Obesity and Modulates BMI in the Chinese Population
OBJECTIVE Genetic variants in the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene have been linked with obesity and type 2 diabetes in European populations. We aimed to test the role of FTO genetic variants in obesity and type 2 diabetes in the Chinese population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We genotyped 19 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning from the 3' end of the neighboring RPGRIP1L...
