Mortality ratios by relative weight categories compared to average weights were computed for 750,000 men and women. Data came from the American Cancer Society's prospective study, conducted in 1960-1972. Males who were 40% or more overweight had a mortality ratio of 1.87 for all causes of death. The ratio in women was 1.89. High mortality ratios were also observed in overweight men and women who died of coronary heart disease, diabetes and digestive diseases. The mortality ratio for cancer in obese men was 1.33; 1.55 for obese women. Sites with high mortality ratios in obese males were colon-rectum and prostate; in women, endometrium (about 5 times as high as for average weights); cervix (2 times as high), gall bladder (3.5 times), ovary (mortality ratio of 1.6) and breast cancer (mortality ratio of 1.5).
针对75万名男性和女性，计算了与平均体重相比不同相对体重类别的死亡率。数据来自美国癌症协会于1960年至1972年进行的前瞻性研究。超重40%或更多的男性因各种死因的死亡率为1.87。女性的这一比率为1.89。在死于冠心病、糖尿病和消化系统疾病的超重男性和女性中也观察到高死亡率。肥胖男性患癌症的死亡率为1.33；肥胖女性为1.55。肥胖男性中死亡率高的部位是结肠直肠癌和前列腺癌；女性中，子宫内膜癌（约为平均体重女性的5倍）、宫颈癌（2倍）、胆囊癌（3.5倍）、卵巢癌（死亡率为1.6）和乳腺癌（死亡率为1.5）。
