New studies reveal that both the metabolically healthy and unhealthy forms of obesity are linked to an increased risk of several obesity-related cancers, with the association being more potent in metabolically unhealthy obesity

New research to be presented at this coming week's European Congress on Obesity in Dublin, Ireland (17-20 May) and published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute shows that both the metabolically healthy and unhealthy 'forms' of obesity are associated with an increased risk of various obesity-related cancers, with the relationship stronger in metabolically unhealthy obesity.

First study to show obesity-related cancer risk is 1.5-fold higher in people with metabolic aberrations as well as obesity, compared with metabolically healthy and normal weight individuals.

Metabolic obesity phenotype is important when assessing obesity-related cancer risk.

Metabolic obesity phenotype is important when assessing obesity-related cancer risk, according to a study published online.

For up to 40 years, nearly 800,000 people from Sweden, Norway and Austria have been tracked based on how their BMI and metabolic health - that is, their blood pressure, blood glucose levels and blood fats - affect the risk of suffering from obesity-related cancers.

This risk reduction held regardless of a persons weight but appeared most pronounced for those with low-to-normal BMIs.
