Cancers fueled by obesity are on the rise among young adults in the United States and appearing at increasingly younger ages, according to an analysis released Monday by the American Cancer Society.
The study, published in The Lancet Public Health, examined data on 12 obesity-related cancers between 1995 and 2014, as well as 18 common cancers not associated with weight. They found a disturbing trend among adults age 24 to 49.
LifeTip: Addressing obesity early on through better diet, better and more exercise can dramatically reduce one’s risk of cancer later in life. For more recommendations, attend “Prevent Cancer Naturally” with Dr. David DeRose.
