Obesity increases the risk of cancerhttp://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/nov2011/3/7/obesity-526830983.jpg
British researchers said that the more weight the more likely you have cancer.
This information is not true only for the types of conventional cancer such as colon cancer and breast cancer, but this also is normal for other types of cancer such as bladder cancer. Risk ratios also vary between men and women of different races, this information is issued as a result of a new British research.
Said Dr. Michael Thun, head research epidemiology at the American Cancer Society that "this is important indeed, it is clear that the obesity epidemic is a big problem in itself, and the relationship between cancer and obesity is just one of the many links between obesity and a large number of diseases. The evidence is still continues to increase over the past ten years. trying to study the work of a quantitative measure of how high the risk of cancer, the greater the weight. "
Although the weight gain was already classified as an adjunct to infection with many diseases, including the number of types of cancer, said Dr. Thun, "that the problem of obesity is too large and difficult solution to the point led to a significant increase in the number of studies currently underway, will help these studies and their results provide people with assistance and put them on the right track toward healthy weight. "
Last year, said a report by the American Institute of Cancer Research Fund and the World Cancer studies support that the increase in weight associated with higher rates of infection with many types of cancer including cancer of the pancreas, colon, rectum, breast and kidney.
In spite of the fact that this report was one of the most comprehensive to date, it left some questions unanswered. Is there a relationship between the increase in weight and less common types of cancer? Are infection rates vary between the sexes and between people from different regions in the world?
Is the subject of the most important topics and most disturbing, two thirds of adult men and women in the United States are obese or overweight. Expected to increase this number the higher the rates of eating and dietary habits and I exercise.
This study, which was at the University of Manchester analyzed 141 newspaper contains more than 282 thousand cases of cancer and 20 types of malignant tumors in order to measure the risk associated with an increase of five kilograms per cubic meter. This measurement is the average, which is to happen in the case of the individual transmission of the average weight for a person suffering from obesity.
In men, raised the increase in weight, the risk of esophageal cancer by 52%, and thyroid cancer by 33%, and colon cancer and kidney by 24%.
The women raised in the same increase in weight, the risk of bladder cancer by 59% and cancer of the esophagus by 51% and the overall rate of cancer is 34%.
In men the links between increased weight and rectal cancer is weak. While the women were weak links between weight gain and breast cancer, cancer of the pancreas, thyroid, and colon.
In both sexes there were links between overweight and cancer of the blood, myeloma and lymphoma-type non - Hodgkins.
