    COLON CANCER

    30% of all cases of colon cancer in men attributable to BMI above 22.5

    Nearly one-third (29.5 percent) of all cases of colon cancer in men 40- to 75-years-old were attributable to a body mass index (BMI) above 22.5 (lean) according to a study from Walter Willett at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, USA and others.

    “Our results add support that overweight and obesity are modifiable risk factors for colon cancer among men and suggest that weight has an important influence on colon cancer risk even in later life,” the researchers concluded.
