Global, regional, and national burden and trends of kidney cancer associated with high BMI from 1990 to 2021: Findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021

The global impact of kidney cancer associated with high BMI has expanded notably from 1990 to 2021, highlighting significant variations across different SDI regions, countries, and sexes. This increasing trend underscores the need for targeted interventions and public health strategies, particularly in regions and populations where kidney cancer prevalence is disproportionately high due to high BMI. Strengthening preventive measures and raising awareness about the risks of high BMI could help mitigate the growing burden of kidney cancer worldwide.
