Abstract
PURPOSE Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignancy that affects adults worldwide, causing a high disease burden. Few studies have examined the relationship between body composition (BC) measures and the prevalence of CRC. Our purpose was to investigate the relationship between pertinent BC indicators and CRC. METHODS Bioelectrical impedance analysis, laboratory test results, face-to-face questionnaire investigation, and nutritional risk assessment (Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment) were used in this case-control study. Bioelectrical impedance analysis in the case group was performed prior to antitumor therapy/surgery. RESULTS From June 2018 to January 2019, a total of 303 cases and 286 controls were included. The results showed that low body fat percentage (BFP) and high visceral adiposity index (VAI) groups had a higher risk of developing CRC in comparison to the normal BFP and normal VAI groups. The risk of CRC decreased with the increase of BFP. The group with a normal BC had a lower risk of developing CRC compared to those with a greater VAI and a lower BFP, as indicated by the results of the pairwise and total combinations of VAI, fat-free mass index (FFMI), and BFP. Additionally, FFMI and VAI had positive correlations with prealbumin, serum albumin, and nutritional risk scores. CONCLUSION Low BFP and high VAI are associated with higher CRC risk. FFMI and VAI are positively correlated with prealbumin, serum albumin, and nutritional risk scores in CRC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between dietary manganese (Mn) intake and the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the associations of dietary Mn intake with incident VTE, and the underlying mediating roles of obesity markers (body mass index [BMI] and waist circumference), hemorheological parameters (red cell distribution width [RDW], platelet count [PLT], and mean platelet volume [MPV]), and inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein [CRP] and white blood cell count [WBC]) in this association. METHODS A total of 202,507 adults from the UK Biobank with complete dietary data and without VTE at baseline were included. Dietary information was collected by the online 24-hour diet recall questionnaires (Oxford WebQ). The primary outcome was incident VTE, a composite of incident deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). RESULTS During a median follow-up of 11.6 years, 4,750 participants developed incident VTE. Overall, there were significantly inverse relationships of dietary Mn intake with incident VTE (per 1 mg/day increment; adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.90-0.95), incident DVT (per 1 mg/day increment; adjusted HR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0. 90-0.96), and incident PE (per 1 mg/day increment; adjusted HR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.88-0.95). BMI, waist circumference, RDW, CRP, and WBC significantly mediated the association between dietary Mn intake and incident VTE, with the mediated proportions of 36.0, 36.5, 4.2, 4.3, and 1.6%, respectively. However, MPV and PLT did not significantly mediate the association. CONCLUSION Our study shows that dietary Mn intake was inversely associated with incident VTE. The inverse association was mainly mediated by obesity, followed by inflammatory biomarkers and RDW. Our findings are just hypothesis-generating, and further confirmation of our findings in more studies is essential.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Muscle and adipose tissue measures can be quantified from routinely obtained computed tomography (CT) images and are predictors of chemotherapy-related toxicities and survival among patients with gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies. Most studies to date have consisted of predominantly White patients, and the role of body composition among minoritized racial groups is unknown. We examined racial differences in body composition and survival among patients with GI malignancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective cohort study of patients with GI malignancies. Single slices of axial CT images from L3 segments were analyzed using Slice-O-Matic software. The skeletal muscle area (cm2) was divided by height to obtain the skeletal muscle index (SMI, cm2/m2). Skeletal muscle radiodensity (SMD) in Hounsfield units (HU) was used for muscle composition. We compared body composition parameters between non-Hispanic (NH)-White and NH-Black participants. Cox models were used to examine the impact of body composition on survival. We proposed new race-specific cutoffs for body composition using optimal stratification. RESULTS Five hundred forty patients were included, of which 24% were NH-Black. In Cox models stratified by race, each 5 cm2/m2 decrease in SMI was associated with increase in risk of all-cause mortality in NH-Black patients (hazard ratio [HR] 1.25; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.49 p = 0.02). With the existing cut points, neither sarcopenia nor myosteatosis was associated with worse survival. Using a new cutoff for sarcopenia in NH-Black patients, NH-Black patients with sarcopenia (HR 2.31 95%CI 1.10-4.88 p = 0.03) and myosteatosis (HR 2.63 95% CI 1.25-5.53 p = 0.01) had worse survival. DISCUSSION NH-Black older patients with GI cancers and sarcopenia or myosteatosis have worse overall survival.

Social isolation, loneliness, and the risk of incident acute kidney injury in middle-aged and older adults: A prospective cohort study. J Psychosom Res 2024; 177:111587. [PMID: 38181549 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychores.2023.111587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The relationships of social isolation and loneliness with acute kidney injury (AKI) risk remained uncertain. We aimed to investigate the associations of social isolation and loneliness with incident AKI. METHODS 450,868 participants without prior AKI were included from the UK Biobank. The social isolation index was constructed based on living alone, social contact, and participation in social activities. Loneliness was assessed by asking about "Do you often feel lonely?". The study outcome was incident AKI. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12.0 years, 18,679 (4.1%) participants developed AKI, including 18,428 participants ascertained by hospital admission records with a median duration of hospitalization of 3 (25th-75th, 1-8) days. The hazard ratio for incident AKI for social isolation compared with no social isolation was 1.50 (95% CI: 1.44-1.55) after adjusting for age and race (minimally adjusted), and was 1.10 (95% CI: 1.06-1.14) after further adjusting for socioeconomic factors, health behaviors, biological and health-related factors, psychologic factors, and loneliness (fully adjusted). The minimally adjusted and fully adjusted hazard ratios for incident AKI for loneliness compared with no loneliness was 1.57 (95% CI: 1.52-1.62), and 1.10 (95% CI: 1.06-1.15), respectively. In the fully adjusted models, the highest risk of AKI was found in those with both social isolation and loneliness. Living alone and less social contact, rather than less participation in social activities, were significantly associated with a higher risk of incident AKI. CONCLUSIONS Both social isolation and loneliness were independently and significantly associated with a higher risk of incident AKI.

Predicted lean body mass trajectories, and cancer risk and cancer-specific and all-cause mortality: A prospective cohort study. J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2023; 14:2916-2924. [PMID: 37969022 PMCID: PMC10751432 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although many studies have investigated the association between body composition, cancer risk and mortality, predicting these risks through a single body composition measurement undoubtedly increases the limitations of the study. Few studies have explored the association between the trajectory of changes in body composition and the risk of cancer and death. We aimed to explore the association of predicted lean mass trajectories with cancer risk, cancer-specific mortality and all-cause mortality. METHODS The participants in this study were all from the Kailuan cohort, a prospective, periodic, resurvey cohort study initiated in 2006. Latent mixture modelling was used to identify predicted lean mass trajectories for 2006-2010. The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of the Cox proportional hazard models were used to describe the association between predicted lean mass trajectories and cancer risk and cancer-specific and all-cause mortality during follow-up (2010-2021). RESULTS A total of 44 374 participants (average age, 53.01 ± 11.41 years, 78.99% men and 21.01% women) were enrolled in this study. Five distinct trajectories were identified: low-stable (n = 12 060), low-increasing (n = 8027), moderately stable-decreasing (n = 4725), moderately stable-increasing (n = 8053) and high-stable (n = 11 509). During the 11-year follow-up period, 2183 cancer events were recorded. After adjusting for age, predicted fat mass in 2010, sex, BMI, sedentary, physical activity, smoke, alcohol use, salt consumption, high-fat diet, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, serum creatinine, family history of tumour, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, compared with the low-stable group, participants in the low-increasing group (HR = 0.851, 95% CI, 0.748-0.969), moderately stable-increasing group (HR = 0.803, 95% CI, 0.697-0.925) and high-stable group (HR = 0.770, 95% CI, 0.659-0.901) had a lower cancer risk, but not in the moderately stable-decreasing group (HR = 0.864, 95% CI, 0.735-1.015). Compared with the low-stable group, the risk of cancer-specific mortality was reduced by 25.4% (8.8-38.9%), 36.5% (20.3-49.4%) and 35.4% (17.9-49.2%), and the risk of all-cause mortality was reduced by 24.2% (16.9-30.8%), 37.0% (30.0-43.2%) and 47.4% (41.0-53.1%) in the low-increasing, moderately stable-increasing group and high-stable groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Predicted lean mass trajectories may be closely associated with cancer risk and cancer-specific and all-cause mortality. Regular monitoring of body composition is necessary.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is the largest endocrine organ and an accepted contributor to overall energy homeostasis. There is strong evidence linking increased adiposity to the development of 13 types of cancer. With increased adiposity comes metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance, and increased systemic insulin and glucose support the growth of many cancers, including those of the colon and endometrium. There is also an important direct crosstalk between adipose tissue and various organs. For instance, the healthy development and function of the mammary gland, as well as the development, growth, and progression of breast cancer, are heavily impacted by the breast adipose tissue in which breast epithelial cells are embedded. Cells of the adipose tissue are responsive to external stimuli, including overfeeding, leading to remodeling and important changes in the secretion of factors known to drive the development and growth of cancers. Loss of factors like adiponectin and increased production of leptin, endotrophin, steroid hormones, and inflammatory mediators have been determined to be important mediators of the obesity-cancer link. Obesity is also associated with a structural remodeling of the adipose tissue, including increased localized fibrosis and disrupted angiogenesis that contribute to the development and progression of cancers. Furthermore, tumor cells feed off the adipose tissue, where increased lipolysis within adipocytes leads to the release of fatty acids and stromal cell aerobic glycolysis leading to the increased production of lactate. Both have been hypothesized to support the higher energetic demands of cancer cells. Here, we aim to provide an update on the state of the literature revolving around the role of the adipose tissue in cancer initiation and progression.

Abstract
Lipid metabolism reprogramming is one of the most prominent metabolic anomalies in cancer, wherein cancer cells undergo dysregulation of lipid metabolism to acquire adequate energy, cell membrane building blocks, as well as signaling molecules essential for cell proliferation, survival, invasion, and metastasis. These adaptations enable cancer cells to effectively respond to challenges posed by the tumor microenvironment, leading to cancer therapy resistance and poor cancer prognosis. Head and neck cancer, ranking as the seventh most prevalent cancer, exhibits numerous abnormalities in lipid metabolism. Nevertheless, the precise role of lipid metabolic rewiring in head and neck cancer remains unclear. In line with the LIPID MAPS Lipid Classification System and cancer risk factors, the present review delves into the dysregulated molecules and pathways participating in the process of lipid uptake, biosynthesis, transportation, and catabolism. We also present an overview of the latest advancements in understanding alterations in lipid metabolism and how they intersect with the carcinogenesis, development, treatment, and prognosis of head and neck cancer. By shedding light on the significance of metabolic therapy, we aspire to improve the overall prognosis and treatment outcomes of head and neck cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A dietary pattern (DP) may impact on cancer incidence more strongly than individual foods, but this association remains uncertain. Here, we aimed to broadly explore the associations of an obesity-related DP with overall and 19 site-specific cancers. METHODS This study included 114,289 cancer-free participants with at least two dietary assessments. A total of 210 food items were classified into 47 food groups, and the mean amount of each food group was used in reduced-rank regression to derive the obesity-related DP. Cox regressions were conducted to explore the associations of the obesity-related DP with overall and 19 site-specific cancers. The parallel mediation model was constructed to quantify the mediating roles of potential mediators. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 9.4 years, 10,145 (8.9%) incident cancer cases were documented. The derived-DP was characterized by a higher intake of beer and cider, processed meat, high sugar beverages, red meat, and artificial sweetener, and a lower intake of fresh vegetables, olive oil, tea, and high fiber breakfast cereals. Observational analysis showed that a higher obesity-related DP Z-score was linearly associated with an increased risk of overall cancer (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.04 per 1-SD increase, corrected P < 0.001). For site-specific cancer, positive linear associations for six cancer sites (oral, colorectal, liver, lung, endometrium, and thyroid) and nonlinear associations for six cancer sites (esophagus, malignant melanoma, prostate, kidney, bladder, and multiple myeloma) were observed. The paralleled mediation analysis suggested that the association between the obesity-related DP and overall cancer is mediated by the body mass index (BMI), the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), C-reactive protein, high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), and triglycerides. CONCLUSIONS The developed obesity-related DP is strongly associated with overall and multiple cancer sites. Our findings highlight the complicated and diverse associations between an obesity-related DP and cancers and provide clues for future research directions.

Abstract
Obesity results from a chronic excessive accumulation of adipose tissue due to a long-term imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. Available epidemiological and clinical data strongly support the links between obesity and certain cancers. Emerging clinical and experimental findings have improved our understanding of the roles of key players in obesity-associated carcinogenesis such as age, sex (menopause), genetic and epigenetic factors, gut microbiota and metabolic factors, body shape trajectory over life, dietary habits, and general lifestyle. It is now widely accepted that the cancer-obesity relationship depends on the site of cancer, the systemic inflammatory status, and microenvironmental parameters such as levels of inflammation and oxidative stress in transforming tissues. We hereby review recent advances in our understanding of cancer risk and prognosis in obesity with respect to these players. We highlight how the lack of their consideration contributed to the controversy over the link between obesity and cancer in early epidemiological studies. Finally, the lessons and challenges of interventions for weight loss and better cancer prognosis, and the mechanisms of weight gain in survivors are also discussed.

Ann Epidemiol 2023; 80:30-36. [PMID: 36750141 DOI: 10.1016/j.annepidem.2023.01.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Previous studies have established associations between body mass index and breast cancer, but fat mass is a more direct measure of the amount of fat tissue in the body than body mass index. This study examined the association between body fat mass, fat-free mass, and other anthropometric measures and breast cancer in postmenopausal women according to use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). METHODS From the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort established during 1993-1997, 24,219 postmenopausal women were included who had anthropometric and bioimpedance measurements performed by a laboratory technician at baseline. Information on breast cancer incidence (outcome), other cancer diagnoses, and vital status (censoring variables) through 2016 was obtained from nationwide registers. Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) while adjusting for known breast cancer risk factors and stratifying by HRT use and running age. RESULTS During a total of 431,104 person-years, 1919 women developed breast cancer. Among never-users of HRT, the HR for breast cancer at or after age 65 years was 1.06 (95% CI, 1.03-1.08) per 1 kg/m2 higher body fat mass index (BFMI), and 1.30 (95% CI, 1.14-1.47) per 10% higher body fat percentage. The corresponding HRs for breast cancer before age 65 years were close to unity. The HRs were 1.11 (95% CI, 1.02-1.21) and 1.17 (95% CI, 1.10-1.23) for each 1 kg/m2 increase in fat-free mass index, respectively, for breast cancer below and above age 65 years. Mutual adjustment attenuated the HRs for BFMI and body fat percentage, whereas the HRs for fat-free mass index were largely unaffected. Among ever-users of HRT, there was no statistical significant association between any of the body composition measures and breast cancer incidence in the two age groups. CONCLUSIONS Among postmenopausal women who never used HRT, BFMI was associated with breast cancer in women aged 65 years or older. Fat-free mass index was found to be more strongly associated with postmenopausal breast cancer incidence than BFMI independently of age in never-users of HRT.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity, a preventable and reversible condition with a high impact on health, continues to rise, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Severe overweight is well recognized as a risk factor for diabetes and hypertension, among other conditions, that may increase cardiovascular risk. Obesity has grown simultaneously with a rise in the prevalence of chronic kidney disease, and a pathophysiological link has been established, which explains its role in generating the conditions to facilitate the emergence and maximize the impact of the risk factors of chronic kidney disease and its progression to more advanced stages. Knowing the mechanisms involved and having different tools to reverse the overweight and its consequences, bariatric surgery has arisen as a useful and efficient method, complementary or alternative to others, such as lifestyle changes and/or pharmacotherapy. In a detailed review, the mechanisms involved in the renal consequences of obesity, the impact on risk factors, and the potential benefit of bariatric surgery at different stages of the disease and its progression are exposed and analyzed. Although the observational evidence supports the value of bariatric surgery as a renoprotective measure in individuals with obesity, diabetic or not, randomized studies are expected to establish evidence-based recommendations that demonstrate its positive risk-benefit balance as a complementary or alternative therapeutic tool.

Abstract
In recent times, it has become evident that there are individuals who, from a metabolic point of view, are affected by obesity but have a normal body mass index. There are also metabolically healthy individuals with a high body mass index who are thus are considered as to be affected by obesity obese. Understanding that individuals with obesity are phenotypically heterogeneous is a relatively novel concept which, although present in the scientific literature, unfortunately has not yet had an impact in clinical practice. However, common dietary approaches are not effective in treating large numbers of obese patients with obesity. This narrative review, based on the material searched via PubMed and the Web of Science up to October 2021, proposes a downsizing of the role of the body mass index in identifying the individual with "true obesity" since it is only partially useful, and suggests a new approach which also integrates the body composition and assessment of metabolic parameters. This approach leads to personalized therapies that work best for each obesity phenotype in reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases.

Abstract
Given the benefits of physical activity for breast cancer survivals, this pilot study aims to assess the feasibility of the MOTIVE program at achieving and maintaining the recommended physical activity level in women diagnosed and treated breast cancer, over 16 weeks. We conduct a pilot-controlled study of 20 women diagnosed with breast cancer stage I, II or IIIa. In this study, women of Intervention Arm (n = 10) received the MOTIVE program. This group was compared to women of Control Arm (n = 10) who received only counselling. Health-related fitness measures, and quality of life were assessed at baseline (t0) and after 4 (t1), 8 (t2) and 16 (t3) weeks. Intervention Arm women reached the recommended physical activity guidelines at t1 and t2 (eff.size = 1.9 [1.0-3.1]), and 90% continued to be active, autonomously, at t3 (eff.size = 1.12 [0.21-2.12]). Intervention Arm participants' arm strength, fitness levels and quality of life also improved over time. No significant improvements in outcome measures were observed in Control Arm participants. These results are encouraging and suggest that the MOTIVE program may be a viable, well tolerated and effective option to help breast cancer women reaching a stable physical activity level over time, which meets prevention-related goals.

BMC Cancer 2021; 21:1106. [PMID: 34654381 PMCID: PMC8518225 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-021-08820-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2021] [Accepted: 09/30/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Body mass index (BMI), waist and hip circumference are strongly correlated and do not reflect body composition. A Body Shape Index (ABSI) and Hip Index (HI) define waist and hip size among individuals with the same weight and height and would thus reflect body density. We examined differences in body composition between body-shape phenotypes defined with ABSI and HI and used this information to propose explanations for associations between body-shape phenotypes and colon cancer risk. Methods We used data from the UK Biobank Resource for 15,520 men, 16,548 women with dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements; 3997 men, 4402 women with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements; 200,289 men, 230,326 women followed-up for colon cancer. We defined body-shape phenotypes as: large-ABSI-small-HI (“apple”), small-ABSI-large-HI (“pear”), small-ABSI-small-HI (“slim”), large-ABSI-large-HI (“wide”). We evaluated differences in body composition in linear models and associations with colon cancer risk in Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for confounders and explored heterogeneity by BMI. Results Among individuals with the same height and weight, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) was lowest for “pear” and highest for “apple”, while abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (ASAT) was lowest for “slim” and highest for “wide” phenotype. In the gynoid region, differences between “apple” and “pear” phenotypes were accounted for mainly by fat mass in women but by lean mass in men. In men, lean mass was inversely associated with waist size, while the pattern of gynoid fat resembled ASAT in women. Lean and fat mass were higher for higher BMI, but not hand grip strength. Compared to normal weight “pear”, the risk of colon cancer in men (1029 cases) was higher for “apple” phenotype for normal weight (hazard ratio HR = 1.77; 95% confidence interval: 1.16–2.69) and comparably for overweight and obese, higher for “wide” phenotype for overweight (HR = 1.60; 1.14–2.24) and comparably for obese, but higher for “slim” phenotype only for obese (HR = 1.98; 1.35–2.88). Associations with colon cancer risk in women (889 cases) were weaker. Conclusions ABSI-by-HI body-shape phenotypes provide information for body composition. Colon cancer risk in men appears related to ASAT quantity for “slim” and “wide” but to factors determining VAT accumulation for “apple” phenotype.
