A study found that men are more likely to die from prostate cancer by about a third if they are in their teens or twenties and neglect to get rid of overweight and obesity.
And according to what was stated in the “Daily Mail”, a large study showed that being overweight in men between the ages of 17 and 29 greatly increases the risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer, and the rates of death due to it were not significant.
This link between men, obesity and prostate cancer is due to high concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a hormone for cell growth and development that scientists believe causes the serious disease.
While people cannot change risk factors for prostate cancer such as age and family history, experts suggest that this shows that maintaining a healthy weight is something men can control to reduce their chances of developing and reduce their risks.
Although many types of prostate cancer grow slowly and may not cause any harm during a person’s lifetime, some sufferers have very serious symptoms and spread quickly outside the prostate.
Dr. Marisa Da Silva, from Lund University, Sweden, said that preventing weight gain in youth may reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer and reducing death from it.
