Having a
lean body mass may lower your risk of developing prostate cancer. Doctors in the University of California studied 439 men with prostate cancer and tested the relationship of body mass index to prostate cancer. As a control group, siblings of the test subjects who do not have prostate cancer were also tested.
The result indicated that a high lean body mass means lower prostate cancer risk. Weight seems to indicate a higher risk, but the correlation is weaker. The development of prostate cancer is dependent to the hormonal activity of the body. Besides one's family history of cancer, age and ethnicity, fat and leanness may be an important contributing factor. The function of testosterone, which is higher in lean men, must be studied in light of research results.
