美國(guó)研究人員在7月刊的《癌癥流行病學(xué),、生物標(biāo)記和預(yù)防》雜志上報(bào)告說(shuō),，他們研究發(fā)現(xiàn),，更年期出現(xiàn)新陳代謝綜合征會(huì)增加女性絕經(jīng)后罹患乳腺癌的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。
新陳代謝綜合征是女性更年期比較常見的癥狀,，包括腹部脂肪堆積,、高血壓、高血糖,、高血脂和高膽固醇等,。
美國(guó)紐約艾伯特·愛因斯坦醫(yī)學(xué)院的研究人員對(duì)4888名50歲至79歲的女性進(jìn)行了長(zhǎng)達(dá)8年的跟蹤研究，被調(diào)查者最初均未出現(xiàn)新陳代謝綜合征或患乳腺癌,。在研究期間,，共有165人被診斷出患乳腺癌。
研究結(jié)果顯示,，更年期出現(xiàn)新陳代謝綜合征的人在絕經(jīng)后罹患乳腺癌的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)比沒(méi)有患新陳代謝綜合征的女性高出兩倍,。此外，在更年期期間,，僅血壓低壓過(guò)高就會(huì)使女性患乳腺癌的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)增加兩倍,；甘油三酯和血糖過(guò)高則使女性患乳腺癌的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)分別增加約1．7倍,。
研究人員指出，他們接下來(lái)將進(jìn)一步研究為何新陳代謝綜合征的諸多癥狀對(duì)乳腺癌發(fā)病風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的影響存在差異,。（生物谷Bioon.com）

Fruit and vegetable consumption has been hypothesized to reduce the risk of renal cell cancer. We conducted a pooled analysis of 13 prospective studies, including 1,478 incident cases of renal cell cancer (709 women and 769 men) among 530,469 women and 244,483 men followed for up to 7 to 20 years. Participants completed a validated food-frequency questionnaire at baseline. Using the primary data from each study, the study-specific relative risks (RR) were calculated using the Cox proportional hazards model and then pooled using a random effects model. We found that fruit and vegetable consumption was associated with a reduced risk of renal cell cancer. Compared with <200 g/d of fruit and vegetable intake, the pooled multivariate RR for 600 g/d was 0.68 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 0.54-0.87; P for between-studies heterogeneity = 0.86; P for trend = 0.001]. Compared with <100 g/d, the pooled multivariate RRs (95% CI) for 400 g/d were 0.79 (0.63-0.99; P for trend = 0.03) for total fruit and 0.72 (0.48-1.08; P for trend = 0.07) for total vegetables. For specific carotenoids, the pooled multivariate RRs (95% CIs) comparing the highest and lowest quintiles were 0.87 (0.73-1.03) for -carotene, 0.82 (0.69-0.98) for β-carotene, 0.86 (0.73-1.01) for β-cryptoxanthin, 0.82 (0.64-1.06) for lutein/zeaxanthin, and 1.13 (0.95-1.34) for lycopene. In conclusion, increasing fruit and vegetable consumption is associated with decreasing risk of renal cell cancer; carotenoids present in fruit and vegetables may partly contribute to this protection.
