Background: Obesity and physical activity, in part through their effects on insulin sensitivity,
may be modifiable risk factors for pancreatic cancer. Methods: The authors analyzed data …

ContextDiabetes mellitus and elevated postload plasma glucose levels have been
associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer in previous studies. By virtue of their …

Obesity and lack of physical activity have been inconsistently associated with pancreatic
cancer. Using data from a self-administered baseline questionnaire (1995–1996), the …

Objective To examine body mass index (BMI) and physical activity as risk factors for
pancreatic cancer. Methods Eight-year prospective data from 77,255 men and 90,175 …

Although mounting evidence suggests that insulin resistance is involved in pancreatic
carcinogenesis, few epidemiologic studies have comprehensively investigated the role of …

To explore the hypothesis that insulin resistance may be an etiologic factor in pancreatic
cancer, we assessed the pancreatic cancer risk associated with anthropometric factors and …

Tobacco smoking is the only established risk factor for pancreatic cancer. Results from
several epidemiologic studies have suggested that increased body mass index and/or lack …

It is unclear whether body mass index (BMI) and physical activity are associated with the risk
of pancreatic cancer in Asian populations. We examined these associations in the Japanese …

Objective The effects of BMI and physical activity on the risk of pancreatic cancer were
investigated in a large population-based cohort study in Japan (JPHC study). In particular …
