A high-fat diet could lead to obesity, increasing colorectal cancer risk due dyslipidemia and chronic inflammation, while Piper betle (PB) exhibits anti-tumor, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidant benefits. This study aimed determine whether PB possesses chemopreventive effects on (HFD)-induced azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon cancer. Male Sprague-Dawley rats receiving either a normal or HFD were divided into control, PB, AOM, AOM+PB subgroups which then sacrificed after 24 weeks. The lipid profile, leptin, inflammatory markers measured from serum, aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in the detected by methylene blue staining. Cellular proliferation was identified through immunohistochemical staining of antigen Kiel 67 (Ki67) beta-catenin. There significant differences serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein compared group. AOM group for exhibited significantly increased interleukin-6, IL-12p70, tumor necrosis factor-α, nuclear factor-κB, with overexpression Ki67 These changes reversed supplementation. In conclusion, demonstrated lipid-modifying against AOM-induced rats.

Abstract Increasing evidence suggests that red and processed meat consumption may elevate the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), yet magnitude consistency this association remain debated. This meta-analysis aims to quantify relationship between intake CRC, colon cancer, rectal using most comprehensive set prospective studies date. We conducted a search in PubMed, Web Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, Google Scholar databases from 1990 November 2024, identify relevant examining red, processed, total relation colorectal, colon, risk. Hazard ratios (HR) 95% confidence intervals (CI) were extracted for each study pooled random-effects model account variability among studies. Statistical evaluation was executed online platform MetaAnalysisOnline.com. A 60 included. Red associated with significantly increased (HR = 1.22, CI 1.15–1.30), 1.15, 1.10–1.21), 1.07–1.39). Processed showed similar associations 1.13, 1.07–1.20), 1.21, 1.14–1.28), 1.17, 1.05–1.30). Total also correlated an elevated 1.11–1.35), 1.12–1.22), 1.28, 1.10–1.48). provides robust high meats is cancers. These findings reinforce current dietary recommendations advocating limitation as part prevention strategies.

Abstract The link between abnormal sleep duration and stroke outcomes remains contentious. This meta-analysis quantifies how both short long durations impact incidence mortality. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, Google Scholar up to November 1, 2024, identify cohort studies evaluating outcomes. Meta-analysis performed using MetaAnalysisOnline.com a random-effects model estimate pooled hazard ratios (HRs). Results were visualized through Forest Funnel plots. Analysis 43 (35 on incidence, 8 mortality) revealed significant associations Short (≤ 5–6 h) associated with increased (HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.19–1.40, p < 0.01) modestly elevated mortality 1.12, 1.01–1.25, = 0.03). Long (> 8–9 demonstrated stronger 1.46, 1.33–1.60, 1.45, 1.31–1.60, 0.01). Significant heterogeneity observed ( I 2 74–75%), while analyses showed moderate low 35–40%). highlights U-shaped association risk, linked higher These findings underscore the importance balanced as modifiable risk factor prevention strategies provide foundation for Semmelweis Study, prospective workplace investigating role lifestyle factors unhealthy cerebrovascular brain aging.

Abstract Sleep duration is a crucial factor influencing health outcomes, yet its relationship with mortality remains debated. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to investigate the association between short and long sleep all-cause in adults, including sex-specific differences. A systematic search was performed multiple databases, PubMed, Cochrane Central, Web of Science, up October 2024. Retrospective prospective cohort studies involving adults at least 1 year follow-up data on were included. Hazard ratios pooled using random-effects model, subgroup analyses based sex categories. total 79 included, stratified by categorized into durations. Short (< 7 h per night) associated 14% increase risk compared reference 7–8 h, hazard ratio 1.14 (95% CI 1.10 1.18). Conversely, (≥ 9 34% higher mortality, 1.34 1.26 1.42). Sex-specific indicated that both durations significantly elevated men women, although effect more pronounced for women. Both are increased though degree varies sex. These findings underscore importance considering optimal public strategies enhancing longevity highlight need approaches research.

Abstract Delaying the initiation of cancer treatment increases risk mortality, particularly in colorectal (CRC), which is among most common and deadliest malignancies. This study aims to explore impact delays on mortality CRC. A systematic literature search was conducted PubMed, Web Science, Scopus for studies published between 2000 2025. Meta-analyses were performed using random-effects models with inverse variance method calculate hazard ratios (HRs) both overall cancer-specific survival at 4-, 8-, 12-week delay intervals, heterogeneity assessed through I 2 -statistics publication bias evaluated funnel plots Egger’s test. total 20 relevant included meta-analysis. The analyses all patients demonstrated a progressively increasing 12–39% longer (4 weeks, HR = 1.12; 95% CI, 1.08–1.16; 8 1.24; 1.16–1.34; 12 1.39; 1.25–1.55). In particular, incrementally higher observed all–cause 4 weeks (HR 1.14; 1.09–1.18), 1.29; 1.20–1.39), 1.47; 1.31–1.64). contrast, analysis showed similar trend but did not reach statistical significance 1.07; 0.98–1.18; 1.15; 0.95–1.39; 1.23; 0.93–1.63). Treatment associated worsening survival, each 4-week increment leading substantially risk. suggests that timely should be prioritized clinical practice, as these efforts can lead substantial improvements rates.

Obesity is a known risk factor for various cancers, influencing carcinogenesis through metabolic, hormonal, and inflammatory pathways. Excess adiposity leads to insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, all of which contribute tumor development. increases the cancers in endocrine system (e.g., thyroid, pancreatic, adrenal) due resistance altered hormone levels. In reproductive system, it raises breast, ovarian, endometrial, prostate dysregulation inflammation. also linked digestive including esophageal, liver, colorectal metabolic dysfunction The role obesity lung cancer remains debated, but changes may influence progression. contributes hematologic such as leukemia, by altering immune function promoting Other systems show varying associations with risk. Key mechanisms include dysregulation, epigenetic changes, elevated insulin/IGF-1, promote growth. Early detection imaging biomarkers, along lifestyle diet, exercise) pharmacologic treatments metformin, GLP-1 agonists), can reduce improve outcomes. Personalized treatment obese patients requires adjustments surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy. This review explores obesity’s association across body systems, overviews contributing carcinogenesis, summarizes clinical public health implications, screening, prevention, treatment, policy interventions.

Vitamin D plays a crucial role in the regulation of immune system, with immunomodulatory effects that are key prevention colorectal cancer (CRC). Over past decades, research has shown this steroid hormone impacts much more than bone health, significantly influencing responses. enhances organ functions such as spleen and lymph nodes, boosts T-cell activity, which is essential defending body against tumors. Additionally, vitamin mitigates inflammatory responses closely linked to development, reducing inflammation contributes CRC. It acts via receptors (VDRs) expressed on cells, modulating Adequate levels influence gene expression related cell proliferation, inhibiting tumor development. also activates mechanisms suppress survival, migration, metastasis. Low have been associated an increased risk CRC, deficiency correlating higher disease incidence. Lifestyle factors, diet high red meat calories but low fiber, fruits, vegetables, well physical inactivity, contribute CRC risk. Insufficient calcium intake occurrence poorer clinical outcomes. Maintaining optimal adequate dietary preventing improving patient prognosis. This review explores summarizes findings from randomized trials assessing supplementation
