Answer 1

The answer is approximately 52%

Step-by-step explanation:

People with obesity have a approximately 52% higher risk of developing colon cancer than those who maintain a normal weight. However, this obesity also influences the risk of mortality when this type of cancer is detected. This percentage may vary depending on the type of obesity, with abdominal obesity becoming over generalized overweight.

Answer 2

The correct answer is "40 percent higher than Ted's."

Colon Cancer is the cancer found in the large intestine of the body. The Large Intestine is considered to be the last part of the digestive tract. Colon Cancer is best to be detected early, so that it could be easily treated and eradicated quickly, since it is considered to be a slow progressing disease.
