Animal studies support a cancer-promoting role for fat, and in humans, epidemiological data strongly suggest that dietary fat intake may be associated with incidence and mortality of cancers of the breast, colon, rectum, and prostate. There are also data implicating fat in cancers of the ovaries, uterus, pancreas, and lung, but the evidence is not as strong. There is still a debate as to whether it is total dietary fat, specific fats, or total calories that are involved in carcinogenesis. In any event, cancers of breast, colon, and prostate are highest in North America and western Europe and lowest in Asia, and are directly related to the intake of total fat in the diet even when adjusted for total calories.

For trained physicians, aging is often defined by the age-related diseases and disorders people experience as they grow older. In fact, aging is often portrayed as a disease that is amenable to treatment, just like any other elderly chronic diseases that physicians are trained to diagnose and treat. This is not an unexpected view of aging given the Western disease-oriented model of medical education. Examples of the conditions that anti-aging practitioners endeavor to treat or postpone include cardiovascular disease, cancer, sensory impairments, muscle and bone loss, loss of skin elasticity, and decline in sexual activity in elderly function.
