1. What's your BMI?
According to the WHO, BMI can help assess health, but the result should be treated with great distance, this pattern does not take into account the level of fat tissue, which is key to making a decision about starting the weight loss process, among other things. BMI is a coefficient that allows you to check whether the body weight ratio is appropriate for growth. Low BMI can mask excess obesity, while high BMI can be due to muscle mass. This can be calculated as follows: BMI = body weight (kg) ÷ growth2 (m).2. More muscle mass and a better chance of cancer survival
In addition, it has been shown that people with less muscle mass have an increased risk of developing various infections, especially after surgery, and that the more muscle mass a person has, the more his or her body is able to relieve numerous inflammatory conditions caused by excess body fat. These factors can adversely affect the course of cancer disease. Moreover, people with lower muscle mass are shown to be at increased risk for various infection, particularly after surgery and their time in hospital is shorter than those with greater muscle mass.3. The paradox of obesity
Although obesity increases the risk of premature death, a similar study in the course of cancer is called the Obesity Paradox. In 2017, a study of 12,590 women aged 18 years and 18 months with stage IIII breast cancer was conducted. It was shown that large weight loss increased risk of death, regardless of treatment and prognostic factors (E.M. A similar study was conducted in California. However, weight measurements were done in 3 and 18 month after the diagnosis. Each study showed that large body weight loss also increased the chance of death by up to 5% of those who lost body weight by weight loss (J.A. A. The results of this study can indicate that one of these processes can already be diagnosed by measuring over 3 months of weight and weight loss, and that weight gain and weight gain can be increased by more than 17 months of age).
