Obesity in Young Adults Linked to Higher Early Cancer Risk
Obesity in the 20s and 30s was linked to a higher risk of early-onset cancer in a study of more than 6 million healthy adults led by The Catholic University of Korea and published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, HealthDay reports. Over about 10 years, 1.8% of people at a normal weight developed cancer, compared with 2.2% of those with obesity and 2.6% with more severe obesity. Thyroid, endometrial and ovarian cancers showed some of the strongest links. The observational study cannot prove cause and effect.
