Obesity affects every aspect of the cancer continuum, including prevention and risk, detection and diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. It increases the risk of 13 cancer types, including meningioma, esophagus, thyroid, multiple myeloma, breast, kidney, liver, upper stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, endometrium, colon and rectum, and ovary. 35% of cancer survivors are obese, less than 17% meet physical activity guidelines, and only 10% each the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. On average, patients with cancer who are severely obese have more than 50% increased risk of death (52% men, 62% women) compared with patients who are a healthy weight. Nearly 50% of adults and 20% of children are obese and by 2030, researchers project nearly half of U.S. adults will be obese. You can decrease you risk of obesity by maintaining a healthy weight, moving more, and eating healthy.
