Cancer risk has been linked to obesity, thus it is important to understand differences in adherence to evidence-based cancer prevention recommendations to ameliorate elevated risk. Dietary and anthropometric data from 26,980 participants in the NHANES 1999-2010 cohort were analyzed to determine dietary compliance to AICR cancer prevention recommendations across obesity categories. The AICR recommendations break down dietary guidelines into the following categories: foods promoting weight gain, plant foods, animal foods, alcohol drinks, and preservation, processing, and preparation. Despite consuming significantly lower energy (P=0.017), obese adults had significantly more energy-dense diets (P<0.001) and were significantly less likely to meet fruit intake recommendations (P<0.001). Obese adults were significantly less likely to meet red and processed meat recommendations (P<0.001, respectively). There were not significant differences in the percent of grains as whole grains or proportion meeting whole grain recommendation by obesity; however, all groups were below 5% meeting this recommendation. The current data indicate that obese adults may carry additional risk beyond excess weight as a result of dietary patterns. Successful interventions for cancer prevention must address these gaps to effectively reduce the cancer burden in the US.
