A similar pattern, the researchers said, is associated with the production of the hormone estrogen in young women and ladies of middle age. The presence of extensive adipose tissue activates its production.

The young women aged 18 to 24, whose body produces the maximum amount of estrogen, reducing the risk of cancer when excess weight was the most significant (23%). Every 10 years a similar reduction in risk became less intense. At the age of 35 years, the risk was reduced by 15%. Aged 35 to 44 years – 13%. Aged 45 to 54 years – by 12%. These calculations were made on the basis of examination of a total of more than 750 thousand women. At the same time, scientists stated: this finding is not a reason to gain weight.
