Breast Cancer Risk in Women Fat
WOMEN fat more breast cancer risk than those who weighed a normal body. In breast cancer they are also faster growing. Thus the results of a study published in the journal National Cancer Institute, recently.
Researchers say this has nothing to do with a mammogram performed at least a fat woman.
According to Dr. Karla Kerlikowske, as reported by Reuters Health, even taking into account how many times they do a screening to detect breast cancer, obese women have a risk of breast cancer 10% higher. As for the possibility of developing the disease becomes more severe for 56 to 82 percent.
In addition researchers also confirmed that it was not because a mammogram is less accurate when performed in women with excess weight. “We can show that the detection of breast tumors can be done easily in those who are overweight.
So the increased risk of this disease is not because not detected by mammogram, “Kerlikowske said.
“It is noteworthy that women routinely perform mammography and keep your weight balanced, two things that can reduce their chance of breast cancer,” added Kerlikoswke, physician San Francisco VA Medical Center and professor of health, epidemiology, and biostatistics University of California, San Francisco.
Since 1996 until 2005, Kerlikoswke and mammography colleagues collected data on 287,115 women who had experienced menopause and hormone therapy. As many as 4446 of them were diagnosed with breast cancer one year after mammography tests.
Researchers found that the risk of these diseases higher on their obesity.
“The reason was probably due to circulating estrogen wanitas obesity rises, so can trigger tumor growth,” said Kerlikowske.
Fortunately, he added, this is a risk factor that can be controlled. How to maintain ideal weight and not consume postmenopausal hormones.

High Protein Food and Obesity
FOOD high in protein can help obese people burn more fat, so the results of a small study conducted Marijka Dr Batterham and colleagues from the University of Wollongong, New South Wales.
In this new study Australian scientists to test whether the composition of proteins in different foods affect weight.
They found that people who are overweight to burn more fat when they finished eating foods that contain high protein.
A number of studies have shown that high-protein diets can help people lose weight. Therefore, proteins are better able to suppress the desire to eat than fat or carbohydrates.
This study has not proved, but there is hope that the increased burning of fat can mean weight loss for a long time though. But to ensure it still needed further research.
The findings are published in the journal Nutrition & Dietetics is based on a study of 18 adults with metabolism after eating her tested for three different days. The participants’ average age was 40 years, 8 of them overweight, normal 6, and 4 obesity.
On one day they were given breakfast and lunch menus have been determined, consisting of 58 percent carbohydrates and 14 percent protein. At other times during the two days they made a balanced diet, consisting of one third of calories come from protein, and another third of the carbohydrates.
Eight hours after eating, researchers found that those who are overweight and obese burn less fat than thinner counterparts. However, this difference disappeared when they consume high-protein foods.
Protein-rich foods in question include the low butter fat, lean beef, eggs, combined with vegetables and a source of carbohydrates.
Batterham said he and his colleagues are now testing whether the source of vegetable protein has a similar effect on the metabolism of fat people who are overweight.

Weight Loss Cure Diabetes
New Study published in the journal American Health Association (American Medical Association) showed that weight-loss surgery can cure diabetes.
In this study, Australian researchers found that patients who undergo surgery to reduce the size of the stomach has a chance to recover from diabetes two years after the surgery five times higher than those who undergo the standard medical treatment.
“This is the best therapy for diabetes that we have today, and the risk is very low,” said study leader Dr John Dixon of Monash University Medical School in Melbourne, Australia.
Dixon and colleagues studied 60 men with a fat body mass index more than 30 but less than 40. Body mass index, or BMI, a ratio of height versus weight. BMI of 30 or greater is considered obese.
All of these patients had been diagnosed with obesity and type 2 diabetes during the last two years. Their ages average 47 years.
Half of patients undergoing abdominal surgery circumference, while the rest of the usual treatment.
Throughout the study, the research team to observe whether there is the possibility of weight loss through surgery can be an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes.
The result is known as much as 75% of patients who undergo surgery for abdominal circumference, diabetes disappear within two years after surgery. As to those who undergo normal treatment, only 13% are cured of diabetes.
In addition, those who undergo stomach surgery lose weight up to 20.7% after two years, far higher than the weight loss achieved by those undergoing normal treatment, only 1.7%.
“An important finding in this study is the level of weight loss, not the method, seems to be the prime mover and the loss of glycaemic improvement of diabetes in obese patients,” said Dixon.
“This has important implications, because it shows that intensive therapy weight loss may be the first step to more effective against diabetes than changes in simple lifestyle,” he said.
But Dixon says caution is needed in interpreting the long-term benefits of weight loss surgery. (suaramerdeka.com)
