“Weight Gain in Early Adulthood Increases Risk of Prostate Cancer, Swedish Study Finds”

If you are overweight in your late teens and in your 20s It has been shown to increase the risk of death from prostate cancer. At this year’s European Society of Obesity (ECO), a Swedish research team analyzed data from more than 250,000 men. Weight gain in young men has been associated with overall and fatal prostate cancer rates.

prostate cancer is Worldwide It is the second most common cancer in men yearly 140More than 10,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Sweden. 1in years 110,000 cases and is the most common cause of cancer death in men annually 2000people die

Sweden Dr. Marisa Da Silva, from the Department of Translational Medicine at Lund University Malmö, said the key to the study was to find out what causes prostate cancer and how to prevent it.

A research team led by Dr. Silva set out to find out more about the link between body weight and prostate cancer. Swedish 258,477 men between the ages of 17 and 60 who were weighed at least three times as part of the Obesity and Development of Disease (ODDS) Studyof analyzed the data.

These men who were free of prostate cancer when enrolled in the ODDS from 1963 to 2014 were followed through 2019(average 43year). During that time, prostate cancer diagnosis and caused by this death was recorded.

258,477hit 23,348 participants were diagnosed with prostate cancer; Diagnosis Average age is 70countwas double 4790 men died of prostate cancer.

the participants first from weight observation Average until last weight observation every year 0.45kg showed weight gain.

Weight gain by age Average 0.73 kg/year for 17-29 years old, 0.34 kg/year for 30-44 years old (0.22 kg/year for 0, 45-60 years old)by 10in the stand 20The greatest change was between generations.

As a result, weight The increase correlates with the development of prostate cancer. of prostate cancer related to aggression. As weight increases steadily (yearly 0.5kg) risk of prostate cancer compared to those who did not 10%, The risk of fatal prostate cancer is 29%I was higher

addition As a result of the analysis, between the ages of 17 and 29found that the association between weight change and prostate cancer was the greatest.

1 kg per year between the ages of 17 and 29of weight gain increases the risk of prostate cancer 13% increased risk of fatal prostate cancer increased by 27%.

For this reason, the researchers 10~20vs. It concluded that preventing weight gain may reduce the risk of aggressive and fatal prostate cancer.

Silva Dr. “The increased incidence of prostate cancer weight gainI’m still not sure if it’s because of the weight or the weight from weight gain.”added. But in conclusion, Dr. Silva says preventing rapid weight gain may prevent prostate cancer.

prostate cancer A large proportion of them grow slowly and do not harm people throughout their lives. But aggressive prostate cancer spreads quickly and is difficult to treat.
