Abstract:
What's new? Chronic inflammation has been implicated in colorectal cancer (CRC), and diet plays an important role in modulating systemic inflammation. Two additional factors that contribute to chronic inflammation and also increase CRC risk are adiposity and lack of physical activity. In this large prospective study, the authors gained further insight into these relationships. They found that pro‐inflammatory diets and a higher Inflammatory Profile Score (IPS, based on diet, physical activity, and abdominal obesity) are strong predictors of CRC, but principally of colon cancer and especially in men.
