Prevalence, risk factors and optimal way to determine overweight, obesity and morbid obesity, in the first Dutch cohort of 2,338 long-term survivors of childhood cancer: a DCCSS-LATER study.

Overweight occurs in almost half of long-term survivors. There was no overall increased incidence of overweight compared to controls. We identified factors associated with overweight, as well as subgroups of survivors in whom DXA can more reliably assess overweight.
