The leading Risk Factors for New Cases are presented in the new CDC cancer data analysis. In order of new cases per 100,000 they are Tobacco (173.8 per 100,000), Obesity (169.8), Alcohol (131.5), Physical Inactivity (92.4), and they also add in HPV (12.5).
On the CDC website, the maps are active, and can give the Risk Factor rates for any state. For California, they are somewhat less than the US rates: Tobacco (146.7), Obesity (161.0), Alcohol (123.1), Physical Inactivity (88.4), and HPV (10.8).
For the demographics, we present their graphs of Rates by Associated Cancer Types, Rates by States, Rates by Race and Ethnicity, and Rates by Age Group.
In the maps, based on the midpoint of the four color shadings agreeing with the average rate of all cancers of the risk factor type, we think that the four shading group are quartiles.
