A total of 1,673 new patients were seen during the study period. 469
patients met inclusion criteria for analysis. For endometrial cancer
patients living in food deserts, 5-year survival was 71%, compared with
67% for non-desert residents (p=0.438). Univariate Cox proportional
analyses did not indicate a difference in survival for the study
population (Hazard ratio [HR] = 1.20, 95% CI 0.75 – 1.92). Multivariate
survival analysis included co-variates of age, BMI, smoking status,
ethnicity, cancer stage and grade and demonstrated interaction for
stage, grade and age.
