The  purpose of the study was to evaluate if known risk factors for 
endometrial  cancer in menopausal women are also related to endometrial cancer in 
younger  ages.  From the results of this study, it seems that body mass index 
(BMI),  parity, type of menstrual cycles, history of PCOS and diabetes are possibly 
 related to endometrial cancer in women younger than 50 years of age, and the 
 strongest relation was found with increased BMI. Also, there was no 
increased  incidence of hypertensive disease in the endometrial cancer group.
