Overweight increases risk of developing pancreatic cancer

Young people, which are overweight are at increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer .
Observing the relation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and risk of pancreatic cancer, researchers from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston found that young people with overweight and obesity are more likely to advanced disease and that obese people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer have a shorter survival period. The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
Notwithstanding the authors found a trend noted: "We do not yet know enough about the relationship between obesity and risk of developing pancreatic cancer, and that at which stage of human life profound changes in weight can affect her. Team is examined the case according watching 2 groups - one group was composed of 841 patients with pancreatic cancer and one of 754 healthy people, broken down by age, gender and race.
Height, weight and other health indicators were collected at periodic meetings, the beginning and it was placed when the participants were between 14 and 19 years. Data were collected throughout their lives. So scientists have been able to trace the relationship between BMI and the risk of developing pancreatic cancer, at what age the first symptoms occur and what the life expectancy of patients.
People with Body Mass Index (weight in kilograms divided by height in m2) from 25 to 29.9 standard are classified as those with overweight and those with BMI of 30 or more have varying degrees of obesity.
The results showed that overweight people aged between 14 and 39 years and those between 20 obese and 49 there is a higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer, whether they had diabetes or not. The relationship between the increase in BMI by 5 units and the risk of pancreatic cancer was more pronounced in men than in women.
Those who were once smokers have shown a marked correlation between the increase in BMI by 5 units and the risk of pancreatic cancer than those who have not smoked. Development of pancreatic cancer in people with overweight or obese, who have never smoked was 10.3 percent, while same dependence in smokers is 21.3 percent. In obese people carcinoma was proven by an earlier age.
The authors concluded that "overweight and obesity in young adulthood is associated with increased risk of pancreatic cancer and that people with obesity and cancer have demonstrated a shorter period of experience. Council they should be taken with a weight.
