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 …

Obesity has been postulated to increase the risk of colorectal cancer by mechanisms
involving insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome. We examined the associations of …

Objective: To assess the associations among several anthropometric measures, as well as
BMI trajectories and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk in older women. Design: Prospective …

High body mass index (BMI) has consistently been associated with increased colon cancer
risk in men, but not in women. It is hypothesised that menopause-related changes in …

The influence of adiposity over life course on cancer risk remains poorly understood. We
assessed trajectories of body shape from age 5 up to 60 using a group‐based modeling …

Background Previous studies have shown an association between height and colorectal
cancer (CRC). None of those studies adjusted the association for known risk factors, such as …

Background Our study aims were to measure the associations between body mass index
(BMI) and body surface area (BSA) with outcomes for stage II and III colon cancer and to …

Body fatness increases the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Insulin resistance and altered
adipokines are potential mechanisms, but previous biomarker studies have been …

Obesity is an established risk factor for several malignancies. However, the specific
measurement of obesity most relevant to colon neoplasia is still debated, and evidence has …

Background: Although obesity has been linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer
(CRC), the risk associated with long-term status or change of body fat distribution has not …
