A "groundbreaking" study has shown that being overweight or obese puts people at risk of five types of cancer more than previously thought.
Researchers found that overweight people between the ages of 18 and 40 are more likely to develop 18 different types of deadly diseases.
Researchers tracked more than 2.6 million BMI subjects over their lifetime to see how this affected risk.
Newly identified cancers linked to weight include leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and, among people who have never smoked, cancers of the head, neck and bladder.
Dr Heinz Fresling, co-leader of the study at the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer, said clinicians need to be aware of the higher risk of cancer in obese people.
He added: "The results of our study support a reassessment of the cancer burden associated with overweight and obesity, which is currently likely underestimated."
Previously, the World Health Organization linked being overweight or obese to at least 13 different types of cancer.
The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, looked at the health records of people in Catalonia, Spain, from 2009 through 2018.
None of them had cancer at the start of the study, and 225,396 had been diagnosed with cancer by the end.
The researchers found that those who were overweight or obese were more likely to develop 18 types of cancer, including five newly identified types.
“These findings support the implementation of primary care strategies for cancer prevention,” said Dr. Talita Duarte-Sales, from the Institute for Research in Primary Health Care, Jordi Gull. “They should have a strong focus on preventing and reducing early overweight and obesity. This groundbreaking research marks a major milestone.” In understanding the complex relationship between overweight/obesity and cancer risk.
"With these findings, the global community has a powerful new tool to shape targeted interventions, develop effective prevention strategies, and ultimately make a significant impact on cancer outcomes worldwide."
Dr Panagiota Mitro, from the World Cancer Research Fund, added: "This large study has future implications for public health, as additional cancers, such as leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, have been shown to be associated with overweight and obesity. Our own evidence shows that maintaining a healthy weight throughout life It's one of the most important things people can do to reduce their risk of cancer, and prevention early in adulthood is key."
