Pants Size and Risk of Cancer

KOMPAS.com - Do not ignore the size of the waist and groin that the longer continues to grow in diameter. Signs of obesity in the two parts of the body is a signal has occurred in abdominal fat accumulation.

Fat deposition is usually hidden and surrounds the organs in the abdomen and associated with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease risk.

"Long time has been hypothesized that the size of our clothing is a tangible sign of obesity and fat inside the abdomen," said Dr. Laura AE Hughes, of Maastricht University, Netherlands.


Using information from 2,500 men and women involved in the study of diet and cancer, the researchers tried to justify the link between clothing sizes and the size of the waist and thighs, with a body mass index. According to the researchers, the size of the skirt or pants in the present one associated with cancer risk in the future.

During 13 years of the study, the researchers found that in women, the size of a large skirt can predict the risk of endometrial cancer. While in men, large size pants that can be used to predict the risk of kidney cancer.

In men, waist circumference need to be aware when more than 90 cm, while for women, more than 80 cm.

"In the future this may help epidemiologic studies to collect data on the size of the clothing as well as weight and height, particularly in obesity-prone population," said Hughes.

Taxable DM Young Age

Diabetes can not be cured, but can be controlled. Changes in lifestyle and diet is the key factor. Disclose the fact, every 10 seconds one person dies from complications of diabetes and at the same time found two new diabetic. Other data showed that more than 80 million diabetics (those with diabetes) is located in the western Pacific and Southeast Asia. Around the world, diabetes mellitus (DM) kills more people than HIV / AIDS. So great is the incidence of and deaths from related diseases that blood sugar levels.

Since 2007, the UN world body makes 14 November as United Nations Day for Diabetes (UN World Diabetes Day). Diabetes is a chronic non-infectious and noninfectious appointed the first United Nations. Previously, the United Nations Day only sets tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV / AIDS, which is an infectious and contagious diseases.

In Indonesia, the National Diabetes Day is celebrated more quickly, precisely July 12. Numbers of people with the disease popularly known as diabetes it was just fantastic, ranks fourth in the world.

There are four time or type of diabetes, namely type 1, type 2, other types (due to illness or other factors), and diabetes in pregnancy (gestational). Type 1 diabetes can be experienced in childhood or youth and the disabled should get a lifetime of regular insulin intake (either by injection or inhalation). Meanwhile, type 2 diabetes in adults and is generally not associated insulin. According to the Chairman of the Indonesian Diabetes Association (PERSADIA) Prof. Dr. Dr. Sidartawan Soegondo KEMD SpPD-FACE, type 2 diabetes is the most, which is about 95% of all cases of DM. In addition to genetic factors, can also be triggered by the environment that causes an unhealthy lifestyle changes, such as overeating (fat and less fiber), lack of physical activity, stress.

"Obesity is a key factor in the occurrence of type 2 diabetes. Genetic aspects are not preventable, but the lifestyle can be changed, "said Sidartawan in a presentation delivered at the National Diabetes Day celebration in Jakarta, some time ago. Type 2 diabetes can actually be controlled or prevented by the occurrence of a healthy lifestyle, such as healthy eating and regular physical activity. However, over the times, lifestyle changes, such as the consumption of junk food menu is high in fat and too lazy to move from relying on transportation and the increasingly sophisticated technology.

"Last year the youngest age of 20 years, there are now 8-year-olds are affected by diabetes," said consultant endocrine metabolic Amsterdam's birth. Best efforts to do is prevention by early diagnosis of prediabetes.

Because, if you've already exposed, it is very difficult to treat. Complications were varied, such as blood vessels and nerve damage, infection (gangrene feet), or the date the teeth shake, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels), impotence, heart disease, stroke, to blindness. "If you have diabetes, blood sugar levels must be maintained and preserved as possible. In addition to exercise, diet regulation plays an important role, "said Business Development Manager Dr John S Kalbe Nutritionals Handoko. Forms of treatment have to be primary (not to be prevented diabetes), secondary (not to be complications), and tertiary (do not get any disability).

Injuries due to Diabetes

Diabetes can strike children

CHILDREN who are sentenced to suffer from diabetes will have uninterrupted growth, provided that comply with all rules for diabetics.

"Their growth will not be disturbed, provided that they comply with the rules established by the physician using insulin from the outside," says consultant with diabetes Indonesia Association (PERSADIA) unit Jogja International Hospital (JIH) Prabata, in Yogyakarta on Sunday.

With diabetes (diabetic) children is mainly due to genetic factors, so long as his life will be very dependent on insulin. "Diabetes is the kind one, and arises because pancreatic beta cells are unable to produce insulin naturally because there are hereditary factors," he said.

According Prabata, diabetes type one is not dependent on the 'sex linkage', for example the father who suffered from diabetes then the female offspring will also suffer from diabetes. "The thought was wrong, nothing to do with 'sex linkage', descendants of men or women equally have the same opportunities to develop diabetes," he said. He said, people who have a factor that could have been suffering from the disease before the age of 40 years, if they do not maintain the pattern of his life. However, he denied that diabetics should consume no sugar in any form.

"They can still eat sugar, but the insulin dose is adjusted to be included. Because after all, the body also needs sugar," he said. In addition to type one diabetes, type two diabetes there is also emerging as one live an unhealthy lifestyle. According Prabata, children who have the talent to be overweight or already overweight from too little to watch, because of the possibility of suffering from sugar when it was 40 years old.

Similarly, women who gave birth to a baby weighing more than four pounds, has a vulnerability of developing diabetes at the age of 40 years. For the treatment of type two diabetes, can be done with insulinisasi early, in hopes of giving the opportunity to recover the rest to the pancreas cells that have been damaged, so that later returned to produce insulin naturally.

In addition to food intake and maintain a healthy lifestyle, people with diabetes in his opinion should not be stressed and have to accept the conditions encountered. "Factors support of family and the environment is also very important for people with diabetes to live their lives," he said.
