The new research finds that adults with persistent metabolic syndrome that worsens over time are at increased risk for any type of cancer. The conditions that make up metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, increased abdominal adiposity, and high cholesterol) are individually associated with an increased risk of cancer. However, a single assessment of metabolic syndrome at one point in time is inadequate to show an association with cancer risk over time, they said.
In the current study, the researchers used models to examine the association between trajectory patterns of metabolic syndrome over time and the risk of overall and specific cancer types. They also examined the impact of chronic inflammation concurrent with metabolic syndrome. Previous studies in 2012 showed an association between the presence of metabolic syndrome and an increased risk of various cancers including liver, bladder, pancreatic, breast, and colorectal
