Findings based on men's weight at age 18 years and cancer incidence during more than 30 years

Increasing body mass index (BMI) at age 18 years is associated with development of subsequent site-specific cancers in men.

Being overweight or obese may play a role in the development of 17 types of cancer, starting as soon as the end of adolescence.

Findings based on men's weight at age 18 years and cancer incidence during more than 30 years.

Swedish researchers conducted a study of over 1.5 million men and found that those overweight or with an obese BMI at the age of 18 were three to four times more likely to develop certain types of cancer

According to a new study, males who are overweight or obese at age 18 have a higher risk of 17 different cancers later in life...

While we try to not live in the past, our biology often has other ideas. Adding to a growing body of evidence, researchers have found that men who carried around extra pounds in their youth are at a much higher risk of developing 17 types of cancers.

The link between high BMI and cancers was strongest for abdominal cancers, including esophagus, stomach and kidney cancers.

Men who are overweight or obese at age 18 have a higher risk of 17 different cancers later in life. This has been shown in a study at the University of Gothenburg.

Researchers in Sweden tracked more than 1.5million men from when they were teenagers for nearly 40 years, looking to find links between teenage weight and future cancer risk.
