医学研究理事会的研究院Linsay Gray博士表示，这次首次详细地研究青年时期超重与后期罹患癌症之间的联系。

Higher body mass index (BMI) - the scoring system of weight related to height - had been linked to several cancers, but always in later life, she said.

过高的身体质量指数，也就是体重与身高的比重，与日后得某些癌症有所联系。

Dr Gray said ‘It is very interesting that higher BMI at age 18 actually leads to a greater risk for cancer than higher BMI in middle age.

Gray博士说：“值得注意的是，在18岁时较高的身体质量指数要比在中年时期出现这一情况引发癌症的几率高很多。”

‘The message here is really clear: keeping your weight healthy as a young adult can significantly reduce your chance of developing cancer.

“这点是很明确的，在亲年时期保持健康的体重对于预防癌症有着至关重要的作用。”

In the study, MRC researchers in collaboration with researchers at University College London and Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, analysed the medical records of 19,593 male graduates who attended Harvard between 1916 and 1950.

在这项研究中，英美两国的健康专家联袂合作，研究了在1916年到1950年间毕业于哈弗大学的19593男学生的医疗记录。

They found that men in the study who had the highest BMIs at age 18 were 35 per cent more likely to die from cancer than those with lower BMIs.
