Risk for prostate cancer reduces by weight loss

@ 09:51 PM (35 months, 12 days ago)
Hi friends, yesterday I read news about weight loss which is related to prostate cancer. It was suggested that weight loss can help in preventing prostate cancer. American Researchers from American Cancer Society found that losing weight can lessen the risk of an aggressive form of prostate cancer. American researchers and the Duke University Prostate Center researchers also found that men who lost more than eleven pounds had a lower risk or lesser risk for aggressive prostate cancer than men whose weight remained the same over a decade. However the obese patients have higher risk for prostate cancer as found by researchers. The study tracked the weight of nearly 70,000 men between 1982 and 1992 and after that this results were find out. This study appears to be the first to indicate that recent weight loss can decrease the risk of prostate cancer.
