Two studies published in Nature Medicine and Military Medical Research link accelerated biological aging in younger generations to rising rates of early-onset cancers. Researchers found that people born in more recent decades show larger gaps between their chronological and biological ages, with stronger risks for lung, gastrointestinal, and uterine cancers. A separate global analysis identified six cancers now rising faster in younger adults than older populations.
Researchers have used a machine learning model called AI-IR to demonstrate that insulin resistance is a risk factor for 12 types of cancer. The tool analyzes nine clinical parameters from standard health checkups to predict insulin resistance at population scale. This provides the first large-scale evidence linking insulin resistance to multiple cancers.
Researchers used a machine-learning tool to analyze 500,000 UK Biobank participants, providing the first population-scale evidence that insulin resistance is a risk factor for 12 types of cancer.
Recent research explores plant-based diets' association with breast cancer risk, disparities in care for Black women in Canada, and survival outcomes for young women with breast cancer in Latin America.
