The Triple Health Threat of Diabetes, Obesity, and Cancer-Epidemiology, Disparities, Mechanisms, and Interventions

This report provides an overview of the symposium and describes key research gaps and pressing questions in need of answers to advance the field. The collective burden of obesity, diabetes, and cancer represents one of the largest public health challenges of the century. Although the symposium was titled "hitting a triple," it was recognized that being able to disrupt the linkages among obesity, diabetes, and cancer would be a "grand slam" for public health and medicine.PMID:34029445 | DOI:10.1002/oby.23161
