A new study published in JAMA Network Open reveals that cancer rates among younger Americans, particularly women, are increasing, with gastrointestinal, endocrine, and breast cancers showing the fastest growth. While cancers among older adults have declined, cancers among those under 50 have slightly increased overall, with the largest increases seen in the 30 to 39 age group. Possible reasons behind this trend include rising obesity rates, lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption and sedentary behavior, and exposure to pollutants and carcinogenic chemicals. The study emphasizes the need for more research to understand the causes and address the rising cancer risk among younger individuals.
