ScienceStudy suggests younger generations may face higher cancer risk

Researchers are seeing more cases of age-related cancers among people aged 20 to 39. A Washington University School of Medicine study of more than 150,000 UK Biobank participants found that younger generations show a wider gap between biological and chronological age, which may be linked to higher early-onset cancer risk. The study shows correlation, not causation.
