![]() ![]() One previous comparative risk assessment project estimated risk-attributable cancer mortality for nine risk factors. The Global Cancer Observatory also provides estimates of cancer-attributable burden for select risk factor categories separately. ![]() We identified previous work that primarily estimated the attributable cancer burden for single risk factors globally or multiple risk factors for single countries. From 2010 to 2019, global risk-attributable cancer deaths increased by 20♴% (12♶–28♴) and DALYs by 16♸% (8♸–25♰), with the greatest percentage increase in metabolic risks (34♷% and 33♳% ). Risk-attributable cancer burden varied by world region and Socio-demographic Index (SDI), with smoking, unsafe sex, and alcohol use being the three leading risk factors for risk-attributable cancer DALYs in low SDI locations in 2019, whereas DALYs in high SDI locations mirrored the top three global risk factor rankings. ![]() The leading risk factors at the most detailed level globally for risk-attributable cancer deaths and DALYs in 2019 for both sexes combined were smoking, followed by alcohol use and high BMI. There were 2♸8 million (2♶0–3♱8) risk-attributable cancer deaths in males (50♶% of all male cancer deaths) and 1♵8 million (1♳6–1♸4) risk-attributable cancer deaths in females (36♳% of all female cancer deaths). Globally, in 2019, the risk factors included in this analysis accounted for 4♴5 million (95% uncertainty interval 4♰1–4♹4) deaths and 105 million (95♰–116) DALYs for both sexes combined, representing 44♴% (41♳–48♴) of all cancer deaths and 42♰% (39♱–45♶) of all DALYs.
