A South Korean study involving more than 6 million people aged 20 to 39, who were followed for ten years, found that obesity in young adulthood is associated with a higher risk of cancer later in life. The incidence was 1.8% among people without obesity, compared with 2.2% among those with obesity and 2.6% among those with severe obesity. Abdominal fat accumulation was also associated with increased risk. The association was most pronounced for thyroid, ovarian, and endometrial cancers, with no substantial evidence of a link to breast cancer. The researchers called for people to maintain a healthy weight and for further research to determine whether losing weight reduces the risk.
