Both metabolically healthy and unhealthy forms of obesity found to increase risk of obesity-related cancers

New research to be presented at this coming week’s European Congress on Obesity in Dublin, Ireland (May 17–20) and published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute shows that both the metabolically healthy and unhealthy ‘forms’ of obesity are associated with an increased risk of various obesity-related cancers, with the relationship stronger in metabolically unhealthy obesity. The study is by Dr. Ming Sun, Lund University, Malmö, Sweden and colleagues.
