Young men who gain a lot of weight between the ages of 17 and 29 appear to have an increased risk of later having an aggressive form of prostatecancer and dying from it, according to a new study.
In most cases , the men's weight was measured objectively, while in 5% it was measured by the individual, and in 15% of cases it was based on memory.
Further analysis showed that this was largely due to a substantially increased risk in men who gained weight between ages 17 and 29. "We do not know if it is the weight gain itself or the long duration of being heavier that is the main driver of the association that we see," said lead researcher Marisa da Silva, PhD, from the Department of Translational Medicine at Lund University in Malmö, Sweden.
