Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Obesity is a well-documented risk factor for uterine (endometrial) cancer. It is associated with higher levels of estrogen in the body, which can increase the risk of developing this type of cancer. Smoking, multiple sexual partners, and sexually transmitted infections are more closely associated with other types of cancers, such as cervical cancer, rather than uterine cancer.
