Obese Teenagers Have Twofold Higher Risk for Colorectal Cancer

Male teenagers who carry a lot of excess weight are more than twice as likely to develop colorectal cancer (CRC) by middle age, according to a large cohort study. Those with a high level of systemic inflammation are also at increased risk.


The study, published online May 26 in Gut, is noteworthy as one of the few to evaluate the association between teenage body mass index (BMI) and bowel cancer in adulthood. It is also the first to evaluate the association of teenage systemic inflammation, assessed here with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), with this outcome, according to the authors.
