Obesity in women ups breast cancer risk

Escrito por

Overweight women especially those with morbid obesity are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer at an earlier age, according to new research.

The researchers examined a sample of 524 women diagnosed with breast cancer who were treated at the university hospital San Cecilio from January 2009 to September 2010 in Granada, Spain.

They assessed the nutritional status of these patients (normal weight, obesity and morbid obesity) and their age at diagnosis. Women with a family history of breast cancer were separated from those lacking it.

The researchers found that obesity in women is associated with diagnosis of breast cancer at a younger age. This finding contrasts with the results obtained in previous studies that demonstrated that individuals with higher body mass index had lower risk of suffering breast cancer.

The University of Granada researchers found that women diagnosed with breast cancer at an earlier age were those who started menstruating when younger than 10 years. Thus, age at menarche is determinant in the development and diagnosis of breast cancer, especially in women with morbid obesity.

Therefore, although genetics and family history of cancer are very relevant factors (up to 18 per cent of breast cancer in obese women had a genetic factor), this study proved that obesity especially the most severe cases is the most relevant factor in early development of breast cancer.

The study was recently published in the Spanish journal Nutricion Hospitalaria.

Breast cancer risk higher in obese women

Women who are morbidly obese have a much higher risk of developing breast cancer and are more likely to develop it at a younger age, a new study has found.

Spanish researchers looked at over 500 women with breast cancer. The age of the women at the time of their diagnosis was assessed, as was their weight. Those with a family history of the disease were separated from those without such a history.

The researchers from the University of Granada found that overall, women who are morbidly obese are significantly more likely to develop breast cancer than women of a healthy weight.

Furthermore, obese women in general develop the disease at a younger age compared to their peers, but especially if they are morbidly obese.

The study also noted that women who started menstruating at a very young age – younger than 10 – also tended to develop the disease at a younger age in adulthood.

According to the researchers, while genetics and a family history of the disease play an important role, this study shows that obesity, particularly morbid obesity, also plays a key role in the early development of breast cancer.

Details of these findings are published in the Spanish medical journal, Nutrición Hospitalaria.

  • Los próximos días 20 y 21 de octubre en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenierías Informática y Telecomunicaciones

Los próximos días 20 y 21 de octubre tendrán lugar en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenierías Informática y Telecomunicaciones y por tercer año consecutivo las Jornadas de Proyectos de Software Libre en la Universidad de Granada, cuyos objetivos son presentar los diferentes proyectos que se están desarrollando por parte de los investigadores, alumnos y demás personal de la Universidad, así como por diferentes empresas y organismos con relación con la misma, y además introducir al resto de la comunidad las técnicas necesarias para comenzar y desarrollar un proyecto de software libre con éxito.

Las jornadas, que serán inauguradas por el delegado TIC del Rector, José Luis Verdegay, contarán con la presencia de Alfredo Romeo, de Ciudad2020, emprendedor cordobés; Javier Viñuales, de la empresa sevillana Yaco Sistemas; María Hinojosa y Boris Burgos, técnica de Codeko.com, y David Álvarez, del consorcio Fernando de los Ríos. El tema de sus charlas será el uso de software libre en el ámbito empresarial y cómo crear riqueza y emprender alrededor del software libre. Por su parte, alumnos, profesores y personal de administración de la UGR presentarán diferentes proyectos liberados a lo largo del año, y que van desde un afinador de guitarras hasta un gestor de proyectos, pasando por un programa que calcula las dosis de neutrones recibidas por un tejido.

Simultáneamente, se hará una presentación de la edición actual del Concurso de Software Libre, cuarta en la Universidad de Granada y sexta nacional; esta edición permite además la participación de alumnos de ciclos formativos, posgrado y estudiantes de bachillerato. En ediciones anteriores, la Universidad de Granada logró tanto premios nacionales como proyectos finalistas; los ganadores en la edición anterior estarán también presentes explicando sus proyectos.
