Brief Summary
The prevalence of overweight and obesity are increasing worldwide. In the U.S., approximately 85,000 new cancer cases per year are related to obesity. Understanding lifestyle behaviors, their causes, and relations to cancer are critical. Where people spend their time during the day may be related to their risk of getting cancer. This project will assess behaviors in different locations across the day and relate exposure to different environments to biological outcomes.

Biospecimen
DNA and RNA will be collected from your blood. This may be used to look at genetic components important to your health. DNA may be analyzed for important genetic determinants that indicate unhealthy environment exposure and risk of obesity, cancer, and cardiometabolic disease. Data from such analyses could guide and may help us learn more about genetic markers of therapeutic or prevention effectiveness and risk of chronic disease associated with obesity and unhealthy environment exposure, including cancer.
