Obesity increases mortality

There are studies conducted involving the link between prostate cancer and obesity. Results show that obese men are more likely to die from prostate cancer than those with normal weight. But there was no evidence increasing the rate of incidence for obese men to have prostate cancer. It is only on the mortality from the disease which was linked with a person’s weight. Note that it is obesity not merely being overweight which increases the probability of dying from prostate cancer.

It wasn’t shown how the two are related. The study simply reflects the numerical relation between obesity and death due to prostate cancer. But keeping an ideal weight is not a bad idea.
