More sedentary time was associated with a higher risk of dry eye disease (DED), particularly for people whose physical activity (PA) levels were below WHO limits.

Women who are overweight have an increased risk of developing breast cancer. It is unknown whether prior obesity still carries a higher baseline risk of breast cancer in women who have shed a significant amount of weight as compared to peers without obesity. Researchers assembled a retrospective matched cohort study of 69,260 women who were followed up for 5 years after bariatric surgery or the index date (1/1/2010 – 12/31/2016) to see whether there is a residual risk of breast cancer among patients who undergo bariatric surgery due to prior obesity. According to the findings, bariatric surgery was linked to a lower risk of breast cancer in women with prior obesity that was equivalent to a woman with a BMI under 25, as well as a lower risk when compared to all groups with a BMI of 25 or higher.
