By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Obesity, Fitness & Wellness Week -- Researchers detail new data in Epidemiology. According to news reporting out of Maastricht, Netherlands, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “In this review, we describe molecular pathological epidemiology (MPE) studies from around the world that have studied diet and/or lifestyle factors in relation to molecular markers of (epi)genetic pathways in colorectal cancer (CRC), and explore future perspectives in this realm of research. The main focus of this review is diet and lifestyle factors for which there is evidence for an association with CRC as identified by the World Cancer Research Fund reports.”
Financial support for this research came from Maastricht University.
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Maastricht University, “In addition, we review promising hypotheses, that warrant consideration in future studies. Associations between molecular characteristics of CRC have been published in relation to smoking, alcohol consumption; body mass index (BMI); waist:hip ratio; adult attained height; physical activity; early life energy restriction; dietary acrylamide, fiber, fat, methyl donors, omega 3 fatty acids; meat, including total protein, processed meat, and heme iron; and fruit and vegetable intake. MPE studies help identify where associations between diet, lifestyle, and CRC risk may otherwise be masked and also shed light on how timing of exposure can influence etiology.”
According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Sample size is often an issue, but this may be addressed in the future by pooling data.”
