Evaluate historical trends from 1990 to 2021 and forecast the 15-year future burden of early-onset cancer attributable to overweight and obesity in China.
Analyzed national cancer mortality and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rates linked to overweight and obesity between 1990 and 2021 across age groups.
Used predictive statistical modeling to forecast sex- and cancer-specific disease burdens and age-standardized DALY rates through 2036.
Between 1990 and 2021, adults aged 30–34 experienced the largest increases in cancer mortality (88.24%) and DALY rates (91.02%) attributable to overweight and obesity (P < 0.001).
Over the subsequent 15 years, age-standardized DALY rates for nearly all obesity-related early-onset cancers are predicted to rise, led by colorectal, liver, and leukemia in men, and colorectal, breast, and liver cancers in women.
In women, ovarian cancer is projected to surpass leukemia to become the fifth leading contributor to early-onset obesity-related cancer burden from 2029 to 2036.
