A new global study has estimated that being obese or overweight causes four percent of cancers worldwide.
Conducted by researchers at Harvard University and Imperial College London, the study suggested that excess body weight is not only a risk factor but it is responsible for 544,300 cancers a year worldwide.
Per a report by the Daily Mail, two-thirds of Americans and more than two billion people across the globe are obese or overweight and according to experts, the numbers are expected to rise in the coming decades.
The report also detailed that poor diets not only add to the risks associated with obesity itself but also contribute to seven of the 10 leading causes of death in the United States.
