Is your waist size increasing? It may lead to liver cancer
NEW YORK: Individuals with high body mass index (BMI), increased waist circumference, and Type 2 diabetes may be at an increased risk of developing liver cancer, a study has found. The findings showed that for every 5 kg/m2 increase in BMI, there was a 38 and 25 percent increase in the risk for liver cancer in men and women, respectively. For every 5 cm increase in waist circumference, the increase in risk for liver cancer was 8 percent. Participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus were 2.61 times more likely to be diagnosed with liver cancer, and the risk increases with an increase in BMI, the researchers said."Liver cancer isn't simply related to excess alcohol intake and viral hepatitis infection.We found that each of these three factors was associated, robustly, with liver cancer risk.

Type 2 diabetes and high BMI are associated with increased liver cancer risk
Type 2 diabetes and high BMI are associated with increased liver cancer riskHaving a high Body Mass Index (BMI), increased waist circumference, and type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of liver cancer, a study shows. The American Cancer Society has revealed that men have a 38 percent increased risk of liver cancer for every five-point BMI increase; women have a 25 percent increased risk. There are roughly 6,000 new diagnoses of liver cancer in the UK every year, and cases have increased by more than 50 percent in the last 10 years. Symptoms of the disease do not become evident until it has progressed significantly, which means that cases are often caught relatively late. People with type 2 diabetes can reduce their risk of cancer by eating a balanced diet, being a healthy weight, and getting regular exercise. Giving up smoking and limiting alcohol intake can also be beneficial. In this new study, NCI researchers investigated links between obesity-related parameters and the rise in liver cancer in the US. Data were pooled from 14 separate studies involving a total of 1.57 million participants. In each study, questionnaires were completed detailing participants' weight, height, alcohol intake, and other cancer-related risks.
