Overweight women are more likely to get bowel cancer, according to a new study. This was revealed in a recent study by British researchers published in the medical journal BMC Medicine.
Research conducted by the University of Bristol and the International Institute for Cancer Research has shown that women who are the size of apples are at higher risk of this deadly disease.
Experts warn that women are more susceptible to the disease than men, especially those who have stomach upset or stomach upset due to various substances, which can lead to the development of tumors.
Dr Emma Vincent of the University of Bristol said: "We have found that the presence of fat in our bodies can be detrimental to the health of men and women. And prevention can be made possible with specific precautions.
This type of cancer, which is linked to obesity, affects 42,000 people every year, while 16,000 of them are fatal. Experts warn that women are more likely to suffer from bowel cancer than men (Photo: Free Pick)
According to Natasha Patten, Director of Health Information at Cancer Research UK, "It has been proven that maintaining a healthy weight can protect against many types of cancer. Obesity causes the body to become inactive, unable to resist insulin and increased levels in the blood.
Obesity raises blood levels of leptin, which causes bowel cancer, but there is little evidence. Leptin increases the growth and spread of colon cancer cells, the report said.
