Abstract
The findings reported by Junjie Huang and colleagues,1 published in The Lancet Haematology, elaborate on the recent trends in the epidemiology of multiple myeloma through several global cancer registries, emphasising the contribution of modifiable risk factors, namely overweight and physical inactivity, towards the development of multiple myeloma. The age-standardised multiple myeloma incidence was 1·78 (95% UI 1·69–1·87) per 100 000 people globally and mortality was 1·14 (95% UI 1·07–1·21) per 100 000 people globally in 2020.
