UPI reports cancer cases attributed to obesity vary state-by-state, according to a new study. The study showed a 1.5-fold difference between the lowest and highest state-by-state rates of cancers attributable to weight. For instance, endometrial cancer rates ranged drastically, from 36.5% in Hawaii to nearly 55% in Mississippi. The National Institutes of Health says over two-thirds of US adults are considered overweight or obese.
