Objective: The aim of this study was to report the level and trends of 13 cancers that are attributable to excess body weight (EBW) for 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019.

Methods: Using publicly available data, the burden of cancers attributable to EBW was reported from 1990 to 2019 based on the comparative risk assessment approach used in the Global Burden of Disease study 2019. [Correction added on 27 January 2022, after first online publication: 'Using publicly available data,' has been added before the first sentence and 'estimated' was corrected to 'reported'.] RESULTS: In 2019, EBW caused 11.2 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), or 4.4% of all cancer-related DALYs. Between 1990 and 2019, the global EBW-attributable age-standardized cancer DALY rates (per 100,000) increased from 109.9 to 133.9, a relative increase of 21.9%. The age-standardized DALY rates (per 100,000) of cancers attributable to EBW in 2019 were highest and lowest in Mongolia (611.8) and Bangladesh (30.2), respectively. The 60- to 64-year age group had the highest number of DALYs attributable to EBW, whereas there were no large sex differences in the cancer-related burden attributable to EBW. Furthermore, the association between the age-standardized DALY rates and the sociodemographic index was generally positive.

Conclusions: Overall, the EBW-attributable burden of cancers has increased in the past three decades. Public health efforts should focus on identifying appropriate preventive interventions at the population and individual levels, especially in the regions and countries with the highest burden.

Exploring Differences in the Role of Hospitalization on Weight Gain Based on Treatment Type From Randomized Clinical Trials for Adolescent Anorexia Nervosa.

Authors:
Nandini Datta Brittany E Matheson Daniel Le Grange Harry A Brandt Blake Woodside Katherine A Halmi Denise E Wilfley James D Lock

Front Psychiatry 2020 12;11:609675. Epub 2020 Nov 12.

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, United States.

This study explores the impact of weight gain during medical stabilization hospitalization on weight outcomes between three outpatient treatments for adolescent anorexia nervosa (AN): Adolescent Focused Therapy (AFT), Systemic Family Therapy (SyFT), and Family Based Treatment (FBT). A secondary analysis of weight gain data ( = 215) of adolescents (12-18 years) meeting DSM-IV criteria for AN (exclusive of amenorrhea criteria) who participated in two randomized clinical trials (RCTs) was conducted. Main outcomes examined were changes in weight restoration (≥95% expected body weight or EBW) and differences in weight change attributable to hospital weight gain. Read More

Proportion of Cancer Cases Attributable to Excess Body Weight by US State, 2011-2015.

Authors:
Farhad Islami Ann Goding Sauer Susan M Gapstur Ahmedin Jemal

JAMA Oncol 2019 03;5(3):384-392

Surveillance and Health Services Research, American Cancer Society, Atlanta, Georgia.

Importance: Excess body weight (EBW) is an established cause of cancer. Despite variations in the prevalence of EBW among US states, there is little information on the EBW-related cancer burden by state; this information would be useful for setting priorities for cancer-control initiatives.

Objective: To calculate the population attributable fraction (PAF) of incident cancer cases attributable to EBW among adults 30 years or older in 2011 to 2015 in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Read More

Cancer Incidence and Mortality due to Excess Body Weight in Ireland: An Analysis of 10-year data.

A Collins T McCarthy M Laffoy

Ir Med J 2017 Aug 12;110(7):614. Epub 2017 Aug 12.

National Cancer Control Programme, HSE, King Inn House, 200 Parnell St, Dublin 1.

Excess body weight (EBW) increases the risk of specific cancers. The prevalence of EBW has risen significantly in Ireland over recent decades. To highlight the impact on cancer, and to inform future policies, we calculated the proportion of cancers in Ireland that were attributable to EBW using the Population Attributable Fraction (PAF).
