VIVA – Recent research findings have clarified whether lowering body weight reduce risk cancer. Studies in the ‘JNCI Cancer Spectrum, published by Oxford University Press, show that overweight and obese people who lose weight can reduce their chances of developing adenoma colorectal later in life: a type of cancer or polyps in the colon or rectum that can cause colorectal.
Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death among men and women in the United States. Times of India. Colorectal cancer is cancer that grows in the large intestine (colon) or at the very bottom of the large intestine that connects to the anus (rectum).
Over the past 30 years, obesity has increased in the United States and around the world, leading to an increased development of many chronic diseases. Obesity is a known risk factor for colorectal adenoma and colorectal cancer.
Doctors recommend weight loss for people who are overweight and obese in general. Although weight loss is thought to have some beneficial health effects, whether weight loss can reduce the chances of developing a colorectal adenoma is still an open question.
Most studies investigated only the risk of colorectal adenoma in relation to obesity or body mass index assessed at one point in time, with fewer studies assessing the role of weight change.
The investigators assessed changes in body weight (including weight gain and weight loss) over three periods of adulthood in relation to colorectal adenomas using self-reported weight data in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial.
The trial involved 154,942 United States men and women aged 55 to 74 from 1993 to 2001 to evaluate the effectiveness of the approach screening in preventing death from various cancers.
