ABOUT THIS BOOK
This book focuses on how obesity and sedentary lifestyles adversely affect
cancer risk and survival for individuals as well as mechanisms that may underlie
those associations. However, evidence is accumulating rapidly on the cost of
obesity and sedentary lifestyles to society. For example, obesity is estimated
to lead to costs of $147 billion in the US.6 While research on individual level
interventions for weight loss and increasing physical activity have identified
efficacious approaches, these changes in behavior are not maintained by many
in the current environments in the US and worldwide that promote weight gain
and inactivity. Research on environmental and policy approaches for addressing
these problems at the societal level is needed7, 8 and is a major component
of the President’s Report on Childhood Obesity released in April 2010.
The epidemic of overweight and obesity and the increasing sedentary lifestyles
will impact the magnitude and quality of the cancer problem globally. Increasing
the knowledge of scientists, clinicians, and policy experts will aid in defining
new prevention and treatment methods, to reduce the impact of energy balance
on cancer, with the goal to eventually reduce the burden of cancer. Hopefully,
this knowledge can be translated into incentives for the general public, persons
at high risk, and cancer patients and survivors to increase physical activity,
reduce excess weight, and maintain energy balance lifelong.
