OBJECTIVE Obesity is associated with an increased risk of development of colonic adenomatous polyps and colorectal cancer. However, the influence of obesity on the development of advanced colon polyps is not clear. We examined the relationship between advanced colon polyps and obesity in health

High fat diet-induced obesity increases the formation of colon polyps induced by azoxymethane in mice.

BACKGROUND Obesity has been found to be associated with colon cancer. However, the mechanism of this relationship is unclear and thus a good animal model is required. Our previous research showed that some mice developed diet-induced obesity (DIO) whilst others were diet-resistant (DR) when fed a

Background. Colorectal cancer mostly arises from the polyps of colon. The aim of our study was to examine the association of body mass index (BMI) and serum lipids with the colorectal polyps in old Chinese people. Methods. The risk of developing colorectal polyps was studied in 244 subjects (212 men

Physical activity reduces risk for colon polyps in a multiethnic colorectal cancer screening population.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Identifying modifiable factors that influence the epidemiology of colorectal cancer incidence among multiethnic groups might be informative for the development of public health strategies targeting the disease. Minimal data exists describing the impact of physical activity on colorectal

Anthropometric risk factors for colorectal polyps in African-American women.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Colorectal adenomas are thought to be precursor lesions to colorectal cancer, a leading cause of cancer incidence and mortality in African-American women. Studies suggest that obesity is associated with risk of adenomas in white women, but little is known about the relation in

Plasma adiponectin, visfatin, leptin, and resistin levels and the onset of colonic polyps in patients with prediabetes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Prediabetes is associated with a high risk of colon cancer, and abdominal obesity, which can result in the secretion of several obesity-related adipocytokines, is an independent influencing factor for colonic polyps in prediabetes subjects. However, the correlation between

A follow-up study of physical activity and incidence of colorectal polyps in African-American women.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer, but the effect of activity on colorectal adenomas, which are precursors to colon cancer, is uncertain. The influence of physical activity on colorectal adenomas among African-American women is of particular interest
