According to the NICPR in the year 2010, the average estimated prevalence of cancer was 25 lakhs and incidence was about 07 lakhs in India, there were 5.56 lakh deaths due to cancer. The study is based on data from NFHS (2015-16). Univariate and Bivariate analysis and Poisson regression models were used to establish an association between all independent predictors and outcome variable. Among both women and men, asthma and diabetes emerged as the main determinants for cancer prevalence. Women who smoke tobacco are 1.76 times significantly more likely to get cancer whereas in case of men who smoke are 2.65 times significantly more likely to get cancer. Among both women and men, non-vegetarian diet emerged to be important determinants for cancer prevalence i.e. (IRR=1.58, P<0.05) for women and (IRR=3.17, P<0.05) for men. Among women who are exposed to arsenic through groundwater are 1.81 times significantly more likely to get cancer. From the study, it has been found that asthma and diabetes among biological factors; tobacco and alcohol consumption, consumption of non-vegetarian food and arsenic exposure (only among women) among behavioral factors are the main determinants of cancer prevalence among both men and women in India.
Cancer is a leading cause of non-communicable disease worldwide. An estimated 14.1 million new cancer cases occurred in 2012 [1]. Lung, breast, cervical, colorectal and stomach cancers accounted for more than 40 per cent of all cases diagnosed worldwide [1]. In men, lung cancer was the most common (16.7 per cent of all new cases in men) whereas breast cancer was by far the most common cancer diagnosed in women (25.2 per cent of all new cases in women). In 2015, cancer was the second leading cause of death globally and was responsible for 8.8 million deaths [1]. Globally, nearly 1 in 6 deaths are accounted to cancer [1]. The most common causes of cancer death are lung cancer (1.69 million deaths), liver (788,000 deaths), and colorectal (774,000 deaths), stomach (754,000 deaths), breast (571,000 deaths) [1]. Around one-third of deaths from cancer are due to the five leading behavioural and dietary risks: High body mass index, low fruit and vegetable intake, lack of physical activity, tobacco use, and alcohol consumption. According to National Institute of Cancer Prevention and Research (NICPR), the average estimated prevalence of cancer in India was 2,500,000 in 2010 and incidence was about 700,000 in the same year,
