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.
