Introduction: Obesity is a well-established risk factor for endometrial cancer (EC). Postmenopausal women with EC frequently present with obesity-related comorbidities or develop them after diagnosis, which may impact survival. Objectives: This study aimed to identify modifiable comorbidities (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and fractures) among postmenopausal EC survivors and evaluate the relationship between obesity-related comorbidities and all-cause mortality after an EC diagnosis. Design: Prospective cohort analysis of overall mortality risk in relation to obesity-related comorbidities in women diagnosed with EC.*Corresponding author: Cynthia Thomson (cthomson@arizona.edu)
