Individuals with increased belly fat may be at a greater risk of developing cancer, including breast and bowel cancer, especially in older adults.
Pro-Vegetarian Diet Could Reduce Obesity Risk
A pro-vegetarian diet is known to have a protective role in cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The new study adds to evidence that pro-vegetarian diet can cut obesity risk.

TOP INSIGHT
Change in the levels of sex hormones, such as oestrogen and testosterone, rising levels of insulin, etc. are all indicators of increased cancer risk which comes with obesity.
The findings revealed that for every 11 cm increase in the waistline, the risk of obesity related cancers such as breast, bowel, womb, oesophageal (food pipe), pancreatic, kidney, liver, upper stomach (gastric cardia), gallbladder, ovarian, thyroid, etc., escalates by 13 percent.
Adding nearly eight cm to the hips increases the risk of developing bowel cancer by 15 percent.
Replace One Sugar-Sweetened Soft Drink Or Beer With Water To Reduce Obesity
Sugar sweetened beverages such as soda, fruit juice and alcoholic beverages is a key contributor to weight gain and reducing the intake promotes weight loss.

Carrying excess body fat can change the levels of sex hormones, such as oestrogen and testosterone, cause levels of insulin to rise, and thus lead to inflammation, all of which are factors that have been associated with increased cancer risk, the researchers explained.
Grandparents Are Also A Reason For Obesity in Children
Many live-in grandparents in local families view a fat child as a symbol of health and success and, as a result, overfeed them.

"To better reflect the underlying biology at play, we think it's important to study more than just BMI when looking at cancer risk. And our research adds further understanding to how people's body shape could increase their risk," Freisling added.
Lower Socioeconomic Status is Linked to Obesity
Lower socioeconomic status is robustly associated with obesity; however, the underpinning psychological mechanisms remain unclear.
