Different connections between weight change and overall lifestyle are studied widely.

Nowadays, it has become an even more widespread issue as cancer rates have been blooming. Sadly is the fact that almost anyone knows someone who has or has had this problem. It is essential to draw more attention to sudden weight gain or loss, which both can lead to further health concerns, including cancer.

As one of the studies that bring light on consequences and importance of weight gain and loss, it is a clinical trial under control. It “includes a comparison (control) group.” This group receives “a placebo, another treatment, or no treatment at all.”[1] Their experiments have proved that people can lose weight no matter what is the reason behind it as well as that decreases the risk of further complications like chronic diseases (diabetes, etc.), cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Additional information is gathered from observational studies but still it is also worth to keep in mind that each case can be different as people are different. It goes beyond a pure body mass index (BMI).

As a general influence proved by studies of people with lower weight gain is that they have a lower risk of colon, breast (after menopause) and endometrial cancer.[2] The same also works if you lose some weight as it helps to minimize the possible health problems and thus even the cancer risk.

There are numerous ways of how people choose to deal with their weight. One of the most radical forms is to undergo some surgical intervention like bariatric surgery. It can be either restriction of the food amount the stomach can hold or malabsorption of nutrients or both methods together. Despite the techniques used (laparoscopic surgery) are minimally invasive, it still often causes hormonal changes that can lead to further problems. Additionally, it involves also “gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric band, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch.”[3] Yet it is still worth nothing that this radical method can be highly useful in late stages of weight loss when nothing else seems to work.

For more successful weight loss, different combinations of lifestyle and food changes can help. It might also include the Diabetes Prevention Program.[4] The primary basis of it is reduced calorie consumption, low-fat diet with 1200-2000 kcal per day in a combination of 150 min of walking activity. There are also numerous other plans by specialists, including nutritionists who specialize in balanced food choices and can attribute theory into practice for each person.
