The metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by altered levels of lipids and lipoproteins, high blood pressure and high glucose concentrations, is linked with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However,“few studies have explored the separate component of lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in relation to CRC risk,” explains author Bas Bueno-de-Mesquita. The researchers investigated this potential association as part of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study.EPIC included> 520,000 participants who completed a dietary and lifestyle questionnaire and gave a blood sample when they were recruited to the study. Of these participants, 1,238 developed CRC during the study. The researchers compared the levels of HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A in the baseline blood samples of the participants who developed CRC with the blood samples of 1,238 control individuals.
