 This study found that people who had higher body mass index, BMI, levels throughout their lives were more likely to develop certain types of cancer. The researchers also found that people who gained weight earlier in life were more likely to develop these cancers. These results suggest that it may be important to focus on preventing and reducing early overweight and obesity in order to reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer.
