In addition to the fact that an increase in belly fat is proportional to the risk of developing prostate cancer, the disease’s fatal risk also increases. (Photo: clone)

Presented at the European Congress on Obesity and published in the scientific journal BMC Medicine, a new study shows a link between increased belly fat and an increased risk of prostate cancer: scientists say that each additional 10% circumference adds 7%. From the disease that manifests itself.

Extensive search

The data used in the research came from 20 studies involving 2.5 million men whose health indicators were followed over an 11-year period, including prostate cancer diagnoses and deaths. Obese individuals, in particular, had greater disease severity, as waist circumference was a reference for fatal disease severity, as well as an indication of disease risk.

For every five points added in calculating the body mass index (BMI), the risk of dying from prostate cancer is estimated to increase by about 10%. In the UK, where the study was conducted, it is estimated that up to 1,300 deaths from the disease could be prevented each year: at the cut-off point followed in the studies, 661 men died as a result of the condition, according to the UK’s Biobank.

Researchers acknowledge that scales for evaluating overweight and obesity and understanding their components have changed over the years, but, at least in the specific case of prostate cancer, the trend of increased body fat associated with the disease persists. . Even an analysis of the same study concluded that taller people also have an increased risk of developing prostate cancer.

Although the association was discovered, the reason for increased cancer severity in relation to obesity remains unclear. While examining the possibilities, the researchers hypothesized that it could be a specific body mechanism or, even, a factor associated with the delay in diagnosing obese men, ultimately inflating the numbers of the deadliest cases in this population. The set, therefore, is something that is not necessarily related to your weight.
