Researchers have identified trends and risk factors contributing to an increase in the prevalence of early-onset cancers worldwide. Adults under the age of 50 have been diagnosed with cancer at an increasing rate in recent decades. According to a study by Brigham and Women's Hospital researchers, t
The study found that the incidence of early onset cancers has dramatically increased since about 1990.
In order to understand why so many younger people are being diagnosed with cancer, scientists conducted comprehensive analyses of existing data in the literature and online, including information on early life exposures that may have contributed to this trend. These findings were recently published in the journal“From our data, we observed something called the birth cohort effect.
The researchers then looked for studies that examined trends of potential risk factors, such as early life exposures, in general populations. Finally, the team examined the literature describing clinical and biological tumor characteristics of early-onset cancers compared to later-onset cancers diagnosed after age 50.
Possible risk factors for early-onset cancer included alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation, smoking, obesity, and eating highly processed foods. Surprisingly, researchers found that while adult sleep duration hasn’t drastically changed over the past several decades, children are getting far less sleep today than they were decades ago.
