Overweight = Second highest risk for cancer

 

A recent report by Cancer Research UK concluded that excess weight is the second most important risk factor for cancer (smoking being first).  Being overweight is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, especially for women after menopause.

 

Merck's Healthy Living Website is a useful tool for managing health, including tracking tools for weight, meals, activities and health conditions.  It also includes a Healthcare Professionals section.  Check it out - perhaps you or some of your patients might be interested in using this resource.
