Results:The median age at detection was 60 years and more than half of the study population was overweight or obese. Nulliparity was not a risk factor. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension were significant risk factors affecting 52 % of the study population. Endometroid adenocarcinoma FIGO Stage 1 ; Grade 1 was the commonest type - however 42% showed deep myometrial invasion. Conclusion: The epidemiological factors affecting this Kerala population for development of endometrial carcinoma almost parallels that of developed nations.
