Obesity Causes Over 11% of Cancers
A recent study has revealed that obesity is responsible for more than 11.5% of cancer cases, double the previous estimate of around 5.5%. This finding is based on an analysis of data from over 458,000 participants over a period of 12 years. The study clarified that the relationship between fat accumulation—particularly around the abdominal area—and increased risks of certain cancers becomes more apparent among women and individuals under the age of sixty. It also emphasizes the importance of preventing and treating obesity as a key strategy to reduce cancer risk.
