Bodyweight and Cancer

December 14, 2018


Excess body weight accounted for approximately 3.9% of all cancers worldwide in 2012. That trend is not looking to improve as portion sizes are increasing. Another study showed that 94 percent of meals from full service restaurants and 72 percent of fast food meals across all countries studied contained high calories - 600 calories or more.

In 2016, approximately 40% of adults and 18% of children (ages 5-19 years) had excess body weight. 

Overweight and obesity has been linked to an increased risk of 13 cancers, including: cancers of the breast (postmenopausal), colon and rectum (colorectal), esophagus, gallbladder, kidney, liver, ovary, pancreas, stomach, and thyroid. Further, recent sudies show a probable increase from being overweight in meningioma, multiple myeloma and cancers of the prostate, mouth, pharynx, and larynx.
