Is obesity more strongly associated with increased prostate cancer risk among African American men compared to non-Hispanic white men?
Obesity is more strongly associated with increased prostate cancer risk among African American men compared to non-Hispanic white men, suggesting targeted weight reduction could reduce racial disparities in cancer incidence.
Obesity is more strongly associated with increased prostate cancer risk among African American than non-Hispanic white men and reducing obesity among African American men could reduce the racial disparity in cancer incidence. Additional research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the differential effects of obesity in African American and non-Hispanic white men.
