A Man's Risk Of Dying From Prostate Cancer May Be Increased By Metabolic Factors

Oops, fatsos.
High blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, and body mass index - characteristics that are often lumped together as the metabolic syndrome - are jointly linked with an increased risk of dying from prostate cancer. That is the conclusion of a new study published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. The study's results suggest that public health recommendations regarding diet and lifestyle to prevent heart disease and diabetes may also decrease a man's likelihood of dying from prostate cancer.
Kudos, fatsos.
