BACKGROUND This study examined the association between the body mass index (BMI) in
late adolescence and the risk of colon and rectal cancer. METHODS This study analyzed a …

Background Obesity is a well established risk factor of colorectal cancer (CRC), but how
body size influences risk of colorectal cancer defined by key molecular alterations remains …

The importance of body size versus weight distribution for cancer risk is unclear. We
investigated associations between measures of body size and shape and the risk of …

To perform a systematic review of studies reporting on the association between body mass
index (BMI) and the risk of colorectal cancer, we conducted a meta‐analysis and meta …

Background: Observational studies have associated adiposity with an increased risk of
colorectal cancer (CRC). However, such studies do not establish a causal relationship. To …

Background High body-mass index (BMI) predisposes to several site-specific cancers, but a
large-scale systematic and detailed characterisation of patterns of risk across all common …

In most studies, body mass index (BMI) has been associated with increased risk of colorectal
or colon cancer in men, but the relation is weaker and less consistent for women, possibly …

Background It remains unclear whether the increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC)
associated with obesity differs by gender, distribution of fat, tumour location and clinical …

Adiposity is a risk factor for colon cancer, but underlying mechanisms are not well
understood. We evaluated the extent to which 11 biomarkers with inflammatory and …

Obesity is associated with several types of cancer and fat distribution, which differs
dramatically between sexes, has been suggested to be an independent risk factor. However …
