Cancer Survivors Who Have Obesity
State: Hawaii
Measurement Period: 2022
This indicator is archived and is no longer being updated. Click to learn more
This indicator shows the percent of adult cancer survivors who have obesity according to their Body Mass Index (BMI). The BMI is calculated by taking a person's weight and dividing it by their height squared in metric units (BMI = Weight (Kg)/[Height (m) ^ 2]). A BMI >=30 is considered obese.
Why is this important?
Overweight and obesity are associated with at least 13 types of cancer. Additionally, they may negatively affect cancer treatment and survival. Maintaining a healthy body weight can lower the risk for having cancer recur or developing a new cancer. It also lowers the risk for comorbid illnesses including diabetes or heart disease. Healthy nutrition and physical activity are important parts of the cancer survivorship care plan.
