En studie ledd från Lunds universitet visar att midjemått är en starkare riskfaktor än BMI för utveckling av fetmarelaterad cancer hos män. Studien, som bygger på data från över 339 000 personer, tyder på att midjemått kan ge viktig information vid bedömning av cancerrisk. Det är välkänt att obesitas ökar risken för flera cancerformer, men hur risken mäts och bedöms kan ha stor betydelse. Nyligen
