For the men seemed to waist circumference is the most influential, has increased the risk of colorectal cancer in older men Btona by 63 percent compared to people with bellies slimmest.
Nevertheless, the increase in waist circumference in women were associated only with increased risk of cancer among women who engaged in aerobic exercise for less than 30 minutes a day.
