In two new studies published in the journals Obesity and Cancer Medicine, the same research team is now focusing on body mass index (BMI), while the results are independent of the participants' aerobic fitness level.
For several of the cancer types, the risk was elevated already at a BMI of 20-22.4, within the usually used range of normal weight (18.5-24.9).
Our research group has drawn similar conclusions regarding BMI in early adulthood and later cardiovascular disease," says Maria à berg, professor of family medicine at Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg and senior author.
