I do not think there are statistics on that. I am sure that certain types of cancers may be more prevalent in heavier people but not sure of any. I am a cancer patient and have done extensive research. I really do not think that "obese" people are any more subject to cancer than average.

Are fat or obese women more likely to develop cancer then fat or obese men?

No, I do not think that there are any differences as to whether obese women or obese men get it. Cancer is developed because of the unhealthy lifestyles that one chooses to have. Cancer is the accumulation of unneeded cells and that would be translated into the free radical. That is why eating many anti-oxidants is important. Eat fruits and veggies and work out daily and have no worries of developing cancer.

How many people in the UK eat healthy?

Not a hole lot by the looks of all the fat people JOKES It's thought that more than one in 20 cancers in the UK are linked to being overweight or obese. Research has shown that many types of cancer are more common in people who are overweight or obese, including: breast cancer, in women after the menopause bowel cancer womb cancer oesophageal (food pipe) cancer pancreatic cancer kidney cancer gallbladder cancer This list includes two of the most common types of cancer, and three of the hardest to treat. The fat tissues in overweight people produce more hormones and growth factors than those in people of a healthy weight. High levels of some of these hormones, including oestrogen and insulin, can increase the risk of certain cancers.
