Obesity, weight gain, large weight changes, and adenomatous polyps of the left colon and rectum

American Journal of Epidemiology

Abstract

Epidemiologic studies of colorectal neoplasia have usually examined body mass index as a risk factor, but not other aspects of obesity. During 1991-1993, the authors obtained weight histories and comprehensive covariate data from men and women aged 50-75 years who underwent sigmoidoscopy at a health maintenance organization in southern California. Using 483 cases with adenomas and 483 controls, measures of obesity (body mass index), positive energy balance (net weight gain in the past 10 years), and weight variability (large weight changes) were each independently related to adenoma prevalence. Compared with subjects in the lowest quartile of body mass index, multivariate-adjusted odds ratios for subjects in increasingly higher quartiles were 2.1 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.4-2.3), 1.8 (1.1-2.9), and 1.7 (1.0-2.8), respectively. Compared with subjects who reported a net weight loss during the 10 years before sigmoidoscopy, subjects with net weight gains of 1.5-4.5 kg or > or = 4.5 kg had adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) of 2.5 (1.2-5.6) and 1.8 (0.7-4.4), respectively. Compared with subjects who had no large weight changes during adulthood, subjects with 1-2, 3, or > or = 4 changes had adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) of 2.0 (1.0...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
