BACKGROUND: The prevalence of obesity has increased significantly in recent decades, particularly among younger women, and is a known risk factor for endometrial cancer.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the trend in the prevalence of obesity and the incidence of type I endometrial cancer over time in various age categories to determine whether an ecological relationship exists.STUDY DESIGN: Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used. The overall trend in the incidence of type 1 endometrial cancer and prevalence of obesity were observed over time from 1988 to 2016 and further categorized by age group (= 55 years).RESULTS: The prevalence of obesity has increased for all women, but most significantly for women younger than 45 years with a 16.3% increase among women aged 20 to 34 years and a 17.9% increase for women aged 35 to 44 years. The incidence of endometrial cancer has also increased across all age categories, and although it has increased in patients younger than 45 years by more than 14-fold (from
