Behavioral Differences Leading to Disparities in Energy Balance and Cancer

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Impact of Energy Balance on Cancer Disparities

Part of the book series: Energy Balance and Cancer ((EBAC,volume 9))

Abstract

The patterns of racial/ethnic, gender, and socio-demographic disparities in cancer incidence patterns are complex. While susceptibility, exposure, environment, access to and attitudes towards screening and medical treatment influence cancer incidence and mortality, there are strong behavioral influences on racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in incidence and mortality by cancer site. These behaviors are intertwined with culture and acculturation. In this chapter, we discuss disparities in four central areas of behavior that are related to both energy balance and cancer. These include dietary intake (broken down by key nutrients), disparities in physical activity and sedentary behavior, disparities in sleep, and disparities in smoking.
