Summary: For Chinese college students, following a healthy dietary pattern or a high-quality diet, similar to the Mediterranean diet, is more likely to maintain a healthy weight and normal body composition. Fat or muscle indexes play an important role in predicting overweight and obesity, advocating for the application of BIA among Chinese college students.

Summary: This study found that BMI trajectories in adult life are associated with endometrial cancer risk, with longer exposure to overweight and obesity across a lifetime increasing the risk. Weight during adulthood also plays an important role in EC risk.

Summary: This study examined the association between different dietary quality measures and the risk of kidney cancer. The findings suggest that low-insulinemic dietary patterns and higher quality diets may be beneficial for kidney cancer prevention and improved survivorship.

Summary: Endometrial cancer is the most common gynaecological cancer in high income countries, with a global rise in incidence. Obesity is the major underlying cause, posing challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Early presentation with postmenopausal bleeding ensures cure, but advanced cases have poor prognosis. Minimally invasive surgical staging and targeted chemotherapeutic strategies are important advances.

Summary: This Dutch study showed that BRCA1/2 mutation carriers have a two- to threefold increased risk for endometrial cancer compared to the general population, with the highest risk observed in rare subgroups such as serous-like and p53-abnormal EC among BRCA1 mutation carriers.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the associations between prediagnosis dietary choline intake and ovarian cancer survival. The findings suggest that higher intake of lipid-soluble choline and phosphatidylcholine are associated with improved overall survival among ovarian cancer patients.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the associations between dietary patterns at 21 years and changes in body weight and BMI from 21 to 30 years. The results showed that higher adherence to the Western dietary pattern at 21 years was positively associated with increases in body weight and BMI, while the prudent dietary pattern had no significant association with these outcomes.

Summary: This study found that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use is associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer (EC). Different types/methods of HRT use are associated with EC risk, and this risk varies within different body mass index (BMI) groups.

Summary: This study aims to examine the association between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The findings suggest that higher CRF may be a protective factor against breast cancer, but only for women with elevated body fat.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the dietary patterns of Lebanese pregnant women and their correlation with maternal and neonatal outcomes. Three dietary patterns were identified: Westernized, Mixed, and Neo-Mediterranean. These patterns were found to be correlated with pre-gestational BMI and some maternal variables, but not with maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Summary: Adult adiposity is a significant risk factor for overall and endometrioid endometrial cancer risk. Child adiposity has minimal effect on overall risk but increases non-endometrioid endometrial cancer risk. These findings highlight the importance of interventions targeting adiposity at different life stages in preventing subtype-specific endometrial cancer.

Summary: This study found that decreasing BMI trends in late life were associated with higher risk of developing dementia. Among them, individuals with an initial increase and subsequent decline in BMI during mid-life had a greater risk of dementia.
