A new study has found that being overweight or obesity increases the risk of meningioma, and weight control and exercise more, can reduce the risk of meningioma.

German researchers at the university of Ronald Reagan for the previous 18 studies were evaluated, including more than 6000 people, including nearly half of the patients with meningioma, the other half of the patients with glioma. The results showed that the obese risk of meningioma increased about 54% than a normal weight, overweight increased by about 21%, the risk of meningioma and more exercise can reduce the risk of meningioma 27%.

Study found no overweight has correlation with high fatality rate of glioma, exercise more and also the correlation of glioma risk is not big. , researchers say, is that few people know there are meningioma prevention method, while the study found that minus the excess weight, exercise habit, may help prevent meningioma.

, the researchers said the overweight or exercise influence meningioma growth mechanism is not clear. One possible explanation is that being overweight can increase the secretion of estrogen, estrogen may cause meningeal tumour growth, insulin concentration may also be influencing factors.
