European study showed that older hard of weight, especially around the abdominal areamay be more vulnerable to the risk of colorectal cancer than their counterparts lighter. Andexercise may play a role in reducing those risks, especially for women.
The study included more than 120 thousand people in the Netherlands between the ages of55 and 69 years for 16 years and it became clear during that period that 2% of them hadcancer of the colon and rectum - Koloretttal - a cancerous tumor affecting the colon and / or rectum, although most of them were injured in the colon .
The study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, the risk for men hard of a large weight or obese, 25% higher compared with normal-weight men.
Said senior researcher Laura Hgz from the University of Maastricht, The Netherlands, this study provides further evidence that excess body fat causes an increase in the risk ofcolorectal cancer.
The study included the abdominal circumference is the one who seems to play a larger role. Men are those with the largest ocean increases the risk of cancer of the colon and rectum have increased by 63% of men thinnest in the center of the body.
However, associated with large abdominal area, for women, cancer in women who do not exercise very little exercise. The study defined this little thirty minutes a day. Women who have more than _khasorhen the vicinity of 44 - or 16 scale U.S. - are more likely to haveinfection by 83% for those who enjoy the surroundings are less physically active for more than ninety minutes a day.
She adds that studies Hgz link between obesity in the abdominal area other healthconditions such as diabetes, heart and abdominal fat appears to be closely linked tochronic infections the body low level.
She explained that the more interesting observations that emerged from the study is thatabdominal fat linked to cancer of the colon and rectum in women only when they do notengage in aerobic exercise only for short periods.
