How Does Excess Weight Increase The Risk of Cancer? • Obesity is defined as a disease in which a person has unhealthy amount and/or distribution of body fat. (2) Compared to individuals with healthy weight those who are overweight or obese are at a greater risk of 13 types of cancers. These include: meningioma, adenocarcinoma, thyroid cancers, breast, endometrium, and ovarian cancers, multiple myeloma, liver, gallbladder, upper stomach, pancreases, and colon and rectal cancers. • According to a recently study published by Islami et. al., cigarette smoking was the leading risk factor contributing to cancer cases and deaths overall (19.3% and 28.5%, respectively), followed by excess body weight (7.6% and 7.3%, respectively), and alcohol consumption (5.4% and 4.1%, respectively). (Ref 1) • Authors write that excess body weight was the third largest contributor to total cancer cases in men (4.8%; 43,720 cases) and second in women (10.6%; 92,200; Figure 1). (Ref 1) • Keep in mind that the prevalence of obesity and severe obesity among US adults and children has substantially increased during the past few decades.60, 61 Currently, 42% of adults aged 20 years and older and 20% of children and adolescents aged 2–19 years are affected by obesity.
