Views 2

Brazil has a population of over 206 million people. It is estimated that there will be 6.22 new cases of endometrial cancer (EC) for every 100,000 Brazilian women in 2018. From the estimated 6,000 cases in 2016, GLOBOCAN predicts an increase to 9,372 new cases in 2025 and to 11,963 in 2035.

Obesity and overweight are well recognized, important risk factors for EC. Data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE, in the Portuguese acronym) show that, in the past 5 decades, the percentage of women > 20 years old who are overweight or obese increased from 29 to 48% and from 8 to 17%, respectively. These trends will only worsen over time, as the IBGE predicts that 38.2% of Brazilian women will be obese by 2022.
