Het metabool syndroom verhoogt dikke darmkanker

Research Question:
There is a constant speculation about the association between the metabolic syndrome and colorectal neoplasia, but the published results are contradictory. It was therefore carried out this review article.

The metabolic syndrome increases the chance of getting colorectal neoplasia?

Study Design:
This overview article contained 18 studies (case-control and cohort studies) from January 1980 to July 2011.

Results and conclusions:
The researchers found in 18 studies that the metabolic syndrome the chance of getting colorectal neoplasia significantly with 34% [95% CI = 1.24-1.44] increased. Significant is, there is a link at a 95% reliability.

The researchers found in case-control studies that the metabolic syndrome the chance of getting colorectal neoplasia significantly with 58% [95% CI = 1.44-1.73] increased.

The researchers found in cohort studies that the metabolic syndrome the chance of getting colorectal neoplasia significantly with 21% [95% CI = 1.13-1.29] increased.

The researchers found that the metabolic syndrome the chance of getting colorectal cancer significantly with 30% [95% CI = 1.18-1.43] increased.

The researchers found that the metabolic syndrome the chance of getting Colorectal carcinoma significantly with 37% [95% CI = 1.26-1.49] increased.

The researchers found in the subgroup analysis (to get more information) that the Association was significant in both men and women.

The researchers concluded that the metabolic syndrome the chance of getting colon cancer (colorectal cancer) increased.

Additional information about El Mondo:
In cancer it is referred to as malignant neoplasia. Neoplasia is cancer is malignant neoplasm and malignant tumor. Cancer can arise from malignant tumor.

The metabolic syndrome is a condition that consists of a cluster of risk factors for the onset of heart disease. These risk factors are abdominal obesity (large waist dimension), high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides, Hyperglycemia and reduced HDL-cholesterol levels. If a person has 3 or more of these risk factors, there has been talk of the metabolic syndrome.
