“Overweight women over the age of 50 could see a reduction in their risk of developing breast cancer if they lost weight, according to a new study.”
“The study, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI) and conducted by researchers from the American Cancer Society, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and others, found that overweight women in “middle or later adulthood” who lost weight and kept it off had a reduced breast cancer risk when compared to overweight women whose weight remained the same.”
The researchers determined that women “with sustained weight loss had a lower risk of breast cancer than women whose weight remained stable, and the larger the amount of sustained weight loss, the lower was the risk of breast cancer,” said a news release on the findings from the American Cancer Society.
