Genetic studies have examined body-shape measures adjusted for body mass index (BMI),
while allometric indices are additionally adjusted for height. We performed the first genome …

Background Obesity is a known risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC), and emerging data
suggest that this association is mediated by visceral fat rather than total body fat. However …

Obesity has been associated with increased colon cancer risk in epidemiological studies;
however, the specific time periods during which obesity may be most relevant as well as …

Associations of liver, metabolic, and inflammatory biomarkers in blood with body shape are
unclear, because waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) are dependent on …

Background Observational studies have linked childhood obesity with elevated risk of
colorectal cancer; however, it is unclear if this association is causal or independent from the …

Anthropometric measurements, such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and
body fat percentage, have been used as indicators of obesity. Despite evidence that excess …

Aim The aim was to explore potential associations between the body mass index (BMI) and
the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), including subsites of the colon, and cancer‐specific …

Background: High body mass index (BMI) is consistently linked to increased risk of
colorectal cancer for men, whereas the association is less clear for women. As risk estimates …

Obesity and upper-body fat distribution are independent, cardiometabolic risk factors but
whether they also display comparable associations with cancer risk is unknown. We …

Background: Body mass index (BMI) is an established risk factor for colon cancer, but risks
may differ between genders and colon subsites. Moreover, whether weight change …
