Cancer and high body-mass index: global burden, global effort?
Menée à partir des données 2012 de la base GLOBOCAN et des indices de masse corporelle rapportés par le "Global Burden of Metabolic Risk Factors of Chronic Diseases Collaborating Group", cette étude évalue le nombre de nouveaux cas de cancer attribuables au surpoids ou à l'obésité
Estimates of associations between cancer risk and body-mass index (BMI) are robust and well replicated, but are largely based on studies in developed countries. 1 Information about whether these associations are similar in developing countries is scarce, but understanding the burden of cancer risk due to high BMI is just as important in these populations. In The Lancet Oncology , Melina Arnold and colleagues 2 use the available knowledge about associations of BMI with cancer incidence to estimate the ...
