研究发现,腹部脂肪,而不仅仅是体重,会增加某些癌症的风险。 Abdominal fat, not just weight, raises risks for certain cancers, study finds.

布里斯托尔大学在《国家癌症研究所期刊》上发表的一份由布里斯托尔大学牵头的研究发现,脂肪分布(体内储存脂肪的地方)对某些癌症风险的影响可能大于整体体重。 A University of Bristol-led study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute finds that fat distribution—where fat is stored in the body—may influence the risk of certain cancers more than overall body weight. 研究人员利用基因分析,检查了12种与肥胖有关的癌症,发现腹部脂肪与内脏癌、肝癌和胰腺癌特别相关,而脂肪总量在其他癌症中则起着更大的作用。 Using genetic analysis, researchers examined 12 obesity-related cancers and found that abdominal fat is particularly linked to endometrial, liver, and pancreatic cancers, while total fat amount plays a bigger role in others. 调查结果表明,脂肪地点对癌症风险的影响因类型不同而不同,支持有必要超越BMI,将其作为唯一的健康指标。 The findings suggest fat location affects cancer risk differently by type, supporting the need to move beyond BMI as a sole health indicator. 这项研究由联合王国世界癌症研究基金和联合王国癌症研究基金资助,要求制定更个性化的预防战略和进行进一步研究,特别是在不同人群中,以了解所涉及的生物机制。 The research, funded by World Cancer Research Fund UK and Cancer Research UK, calls for more personalized prevention strategies and further study, especially in diverse populations, to understand the biological mechanisms involved.
