Obesity is associated with increased risk of several cancers. Suggested mechanisms mediating the obesity-cancer associations include hyperinsulinemia and altered IGF signaling, changes in sex hormone levels as well as altered secretion of adipokines and inflammatory proteins. However, little is known about the influence of lifetime adiposity on the relevant biomarkers. Moreover, although diet has been suggested to ameliorate the adverse metabolic effects of obesity, convincing evidence regarding how dietary factors may influence obesity-related carcinogenic pathways remains lacking. Thus, in the current project, the investigators aim to 1) examine the associations between trajectories of body fatness and plasma biomarker levels of the insulin/IGF system, sex hormones and biomarkers of inflammatory response including adipokines; 2) investigate how nutritional factors may modulate these obesity-related biomarkers. The investigators propose to utilize two large ongoing cohorts of US men and women, the Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study.
