Risks of Dying From Breast CANCER

• Around 11,000 to 18,000 deaths from breast cancer can be avoided per year if maintain a normal BMI < 25      (primaily in women over age 50)

Life Expectancy

• Current trend, overall, had been an increase in life expectancy

Problem: Most Physicians Don’t Treat Overweight

The Best Behavior Modification

• High‐intensity interventions, defined as more than 1 person‐to‐person visit per month during the first 3 months of a weight‐loss program, are more effective than low‐ and moderate‐intensity treatment
