In noncancer populations lesbians have greater odds of obesity compared with heterosexual women, suggesting a similar pattern among cancer survivors. Weight of cancer survivors is an important area of study because obesity is associated with an increased risk of recurrence and shorter survival. Sixty-nine lesbian and bisexual and 257 heterosexual survivors of breast cancer were recruited to participate in a one-time telephone survey. Multinomial logit models do not support disparities in obesity due to sexual orientation. Our findings in breast cancer survivors suggest that lesbians are more likely to improve their weight-related behaviors after cancer than heterosexual women.
在非癌症人群中，与异性恋女性相比，女同性恋者肥胖的可能性更大，这表明癌症幸存者中也存在类似的模式。癌症幸存者的体重是一个重要的研究领域，因为肥胖与复发风险增加和生存时间缩短有关。招募了 69 名女同性恋和双性恋以及 257 名异性恋乳腺癌幸存者参加一次性电话调查。多项逻辑回归模型不支持由于性取向而导致的肥胖差异。我们在乳腺癌幸存者中的发现表明，与异性恋女性相比，女同性恋者在癌症后更有可能改善与体重相关的行为。
