Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied the visceral adiposity index (VAI), which helps measure belly fat and its link to diseases like cancer.
  • They looked at 385,477 people from the UK over about 8 years and found that those with higher VAI levels had a greater risk of developing certain cancers.
  • Specifically, higher VAI was connected to increased risks of cancers like uterine, kidney, and breast cancer, indicating that belly fat could play a role in cancer risk.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included 40,431 participants of the UK Biobank.

Methods: Individual and combined associations of walking pace and grip strength with stroke deaths and all-cause mortality were investigated using Cox proportional-hazard models adjusted for sociodemographic, lifestyle, and health-related variables.
