A New Study Found That Men Who Were Overweight As Children Are Still At Risk For Obesity-Related Cancers Even If They Shed The Weight As Young Adults

“This study is the first to show that [being] overweight in childhood followed by normal weight in young adulthood results in a persistently increased risk of adult obesity-related cancer,” Celind concluded.

In turn, the researchers are adamant that preventative actions must be prioritized early in childhood. This might mean limiting snacks and emphasizing physical activity at the family level. It may also mean more governmental intervention in the food industry.

“If decision makers responsible for public health at country or even global levels are serious about every child’s right to a healthy start in life, they need to step up the actions taken in early years,” Celind advocated.
