Abstract Summary

Kidney cancer linked to high BMI has surged globally, with deaths increasing 2.67-fold from 1990-2021. Men aged 55-79 face the highest burden, particularly in high-income regions. While rates declined after 2016 in developed areas, low-income regions show rising trends, with projections indicating a global rebound by 2030. Urgent action needed on obesity prevention and equitable healthcare access.

Why Brain? 🧠

Obesity-linked kidney cancer deaths tripled since 1990, hitting men aged 55-79 hardest. Burden may rebound by 2030 despite recent decline, urging targeted prevention and equitable healthcare access.
