04 Feb 2019 --- Incidence rates are increasing for 6 out of 12 obesity-related cancers among US young adults, with steeper increases seen in younger ages and successively younger generations. This is according to a study published in The Lancet Public Health. The study also looked at rates of 18 cancers unrelated to obesity and found increasing rates in only two. These findings present a potentially worrying future for the health of young adults in the US as they age, according to the researchers. Therefore, they are calling for policy implementation to help tackle the issue, with specific reference to obesity.
