Obesity-linked cancers are rising worldwide, especially in younger adults, though mortality hasn’t increased.
A global study finds rising rates of obesity-linked cancers in both younger and older adults across 42 countries from 2003 to 2017, with thyroid, colorectal, breast, and endometrial cancers increasing in over 75% of nations.
Colorectal cancer rose 1.45% annually among younger adults, and thyroid cancer saw the fastest growth at 3.57% per year.
Researchers link the trend to obesity, diet, and lifestyle changes, though a separate study suggests overdiagnosis may partly explain the rise, as mortality rates have not increased despite doubled diagnoses since 1992.
