High blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, and body mass index-characteristics that are often lumped together as the metabolic syndrome-are jointly linked with an increased risk of dying from prostate cancer, according to a new study. The study's results suggest that public health recommendations regarding diet and lifestyle to prevent heart disease and diabetes may also decrease a man's likelihood of dying from prostate cancer.
