Vital Signs: Trends in Incidence of Cancers Associated with Overweight and Obesity - United States, 2005-2014.
CONCLUSIONS: The burden of overweight- and obesity-related cancer is high in the United States. Incidence rates of overweight- and obesity-related cancers except colorectal cancer have increased in some age groups and states.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE: The burden of overweight- and obesity-related cancers might be reduced through efforts to prevent and control overweight and obesity. Comprehensive cancer control strategies, including use of evidence-based interventions to promote healthy weight, could help decrease the incidence of these cancers in the United States.
