7 Types Of Cancers Overweight People Are Likely To Get!
Did you know that being overweight can cause over 7 different types of cancers? Well, to know what they are, have a look at the list given below.
Most of us would be aware of the fact that being obese or overweight can lead to a number of health complications; however, did you know that being overweight can cause certain types of cancer as well?
Yes, a recent research has concluded that certain types of cancer are more likely to affect people who are overweight when compared to the people who maintain a healthy weight.
As we know, being obese or overweight is actually considered to be a lifestyle-related disorder, as it can give rise to numerous other ailments.
A person is said to be overweight when his/her body mass index ratio (BMI) is above the normal value.
Some of the main causes for being overweight are following an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, hormonal imbalance, side effects of certain diseases, heredity, etc.
And over the years, it has become quite clear that people who are obese or overweight are more prone to various disorders like cardiovascular diseases, body pain, depression, etc., including cancer!
Here is a list of the types of cancers that are more likely to affect overweight people, have a look.
1. Stomach Cancer
Overweight people are more prone to stomach cancer because excess body fat can lead to chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, eventually causing stomach cancer.
2. Liver Cancer
Obesity can also be one of the causes for liver cancer because when the fat in the liver increases, it may lead to cirrhosis of the liver.
3. Gall Bladder Cancer
A study has shown that being overweight or obese can increase the risk of developing gall stones, and when there are multiple gall stones in the gall bladder, it can up the risk of developing gal bladder cancer.
4. Pancreatic Cancer
Being overweight can cause pancreatic cancer because excess fat in the body can create an imbalance in the production of insulin in the pancreas, leading to cancer.
5. Ovarian Cancer
One of the side effects of being overweight is the excess production of oestrogen in the body, so when the oestrogen levels are high, it could cause ovarian cancer.
6. Thyroid Cancer
Being overweight can also cause thyroid cancer, as the high fat accumulation in the body can lead the thyroid hormones to go haywire, therefore resulting in thyroid cancer.
7. Breast Cancer
Again, excess deposits of the fat tissues in the body can cause abnormal cell multiplication in the breasts, thereby leading to breast cancer.
