Obesity is a medical condition of excess body fat accumulated overtime, while overweight is a condition of excess body weight relatively to the height. According to the Body Mass Index(BMI), a BMI between 25 to 29.9 is considered over weight, while a BMI of over 30 is an indication of obesity. According to the statistic, 68% of American population are either overweight or obese.

You can calculate your BMI index BMI= weight (kg)/ height (m2)

The Studies of Body mass index, tumor characteristics, and prognosis following diagnosis of early-stage breast cancer


The prevalence of childbearing age obesity is wide spreading in US, approximately, 50% of them are either overweight [body mass index (BMI) 25-29.9 kg/m(2)] or obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m(2)).
Body mass index, tumor characteristics, and prognosis following diagnosis of early-stage breast cancer
Many studies suggest increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with worsebreast cancer outcomes. In the study to examine the association between BMI and risk of breast cancer recurrence, breast cancer-specific mortality, and all-cause mortality, and to evaluate whether tumor characteristics differ by BMI among a mammographically screened population with access to treatment, posted in PubMed, found that the growing evidence that obesity may contribute to poorerbreast cancer outcomes, and also suggest that increased tumor proliferation among obese women is a pathway that explains part of their excess risk of adverse outcomes.
