People with excess weight, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases are at higher risk of cancer
体重超标、肥胖和患有心血管疾病的人患癌症的风险更高

A new study by researchers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has found that having a high body mass index increases cancer risk by 17% for people who also have cardiovascular (heart) diseases. The study was published in BMC Medicine.
国际癌症研究机构（IARC）的研究人员进行的一项新研究发现，对于同时患有心血管（心脏）疾病的人来说，体重指数高会使患癌症的风险增加 17%。该研究发表在《BMC Medicine》上。

The study, the largest of its kind, gathered multinational data from more than 577 000 adults and investigated the association between body mass index, cardiometabolic diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Previous research has focused on cancer risk within general populations.
这项研究是同类研究中规模最大的，它收集了来自 577 000 多名成年人的跨国数据，调查了体重指数、心脏代谢疾病和心血管疾病之间的关联。以往的研究主要关注普通人群的癌症风险。

The results showed that people who are living with excess weight, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases, such as a stroke, are more likely to develop cancer, particularly of the bowel, breast, and liver. Preventing obesity could lead to a greater reduction in cancer risk among people who also have cardiovascular diseases than among the general population.
结果显示，体重超标、肥胖和患有心血管疾病（如中风）的人更容易患癌症，尤其是肠癌、乳腺癌和肝癌。与普通人相比，预防肥胖可使同时患有心血管疾病的人患癌症的风险大大降低。
