New research shows Gen X and Millennials have a higher risk of 17 cancer types compared to Baby Boomers. Incidence rates have increased across cohorts born from 1920 to 1990.
Increase in 10 of the 17 cancers among younger generations may be related to obesity. Lifestyle and environmental factors like obesity contribute significantly to the rise in cancer incidence rates.
Experts link the rise in cancer incidence among younger generations to lifestyle factors including obesity. The American Cancer Society reports 20% of U.S. cancer diagnoses are associated with excess weight.
