Abstract:

A. Background: By 2030, the global cancer burden is expected to nearly double, growing to 21.4 million cases and 13.2 million deaths. It may be the result of demographic changes (a growing and aging population) compounded by adopting unhealthy lifestyles and behaviors related to economic development.Objectives:1)To assess the modifiable risk factors for breast & cervical cancer 2)To identify the association of modifiable risk factors with selected sample characteristics. Methods: Using a purposive sampling technique, a pre-tested and structured interview schedule was administered to 426 women in gynae O.P.D. of Lok Nayak Hospital. Results: 86.85% of study subjects were in the modifiable risk factor score category, and most of them were in the illiterate and primary educated group. Age, education, employment, occupation, and income were significantly associated with modifiable risk factor scores. Conclusion: Moderate modifiable risk factors appeared to influence women's risk status for breast and cervical cancer in this study.

Keywords:
