Scientists have found a link between obesity and cancers of the mouth, throat, stomach and brain.
Scientists have conducted a study and found that obesity has a direct link with the development of cancer. In particular, according to experts at Lund University in Sweden, excess weight is the cause of cancer development in 25% of cases.
The data are based on the study of case histories of 4.1 million people for 45 years, reports The Sun.
Specifically, obesity can trigger 32 types of tumors, 19 more than previously thought. Among the most common tumor types are cancers of the mouth, throat, stomach and brain. However, many cancers can be prevented. To do this, you need to stay slim and keep your weight within normal limits, said the conclusion of experts.
Earlier scientists said that the type of figure can somehow indicate the likelihood of developing cancer. In particular, according to scientists from the UK, based on a study involving 329,000 Britons, colorectal cancer is more at risk of people with fat deposits on the abdomen.
And dentist Veronika Melekhova said that despite the fact that oral cancer is not included in the list of the most common cancers, patients should know what symptoms accompany this disease
