Specifically, the researchers found that those who were overweight in early adulthood — ages 18 to 40 — had an increased risk of cancer.
And people who were overweight or obese for a longer period of time also had a higher risk of developing cancer. Finally, those with a much higher degree of obesity in their youth had a greater risk of cancer.
“Our findings seem to indicate that longer exposures to overweight and obesity , as well as developing overweight and obesity at younger ages in early adulthood might increase cancer risk,” the researchers wrote.Getty Images/iStockphoto The study adds to a large and growing body of medical evidence showing the long-term risks of childhood obesity, includingThe additional types of cancer the researchers linked to overweight or obesity include leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, head and neck cancers, and bladder cancer.
The 13 cancers previously associated with being overweight or obese are adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, breast , colon and rectum, uterus, gallbladder, upper stomach, kidney, liver, ovaries, pancreas, thyroid, meningioma and multiple myeloma,“This large study has future public health implications since additional cancers, such as leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, have [now] been shown to be linked with overweight and obesity,” said Dr.
“Our own evidence shows that maintaining a healthy weight throughout life is one of the most important things people can do to reduce their cancer risk, and early prevention in adulthood is key.”
