A study has shown that the number of young cancer patients under the age of 50 continues to increase worldwide. According to a study published in ‘BMJ Oncology’, it was reported that the number of young cancer patients under the age of 50 in 204 countries around the world has increased by 79.1% over the past 30 years.
An overseas study recently revealed that the reason for the increase in young cancer patients is “acceleration of aging.” The research team at Washington University School of Medicine recently announced the results of the analysis of data from 148,724 people registered in the UK gene bank at the “2024 American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting”.

The research team analyzed nine biomarkers (biomarkers) contained in the blood: albumin, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine, C-reactive protein, glucose, mean red blood cell volume, red blood cell distribution width, white blood cell count and lymphocyte ratio of blood. Participants Biological age was calculated. Biological age is influenced by environmental factors such as diet, physical activity, mental health and stress.
The results showed that people born after 1965 had a 17% greater chance of accelerated aging than people born between 1950 and 1954. One standard deviation increase in accelerated aging was associated with a 42% increase of the risk of developing lung cancer in young people, a 22% increase in the risk of developing stomach cancer in young people, and a 36% increase in the risk of developing stomach cancer in young people. uterine cancer in young women.
The research team analyzed that younger generations are exposed more quickly to various environmental risk factors, accelerating the aging process. Dr Rui Tian, who led the study, said: “Biological age is related to the development of cancer, and interventions to slow biological aging will be a new strategy for cancer prevention.” The research team plans to conduct further research on populations other than the UK population with different genetic backgrounds, lifestyles and environmental exposures.
