Background Traditional body-shape indices such as Waist Circumference (WC), Hip
Circumference (HC), and Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) are associated with colorectal cancer …

Background Body mass index (BMI), waist and hip circumference are strongly correlated
and do not reflect body composition. A Body Shape Index (ABSI) and Hip Index (HI) define …

Background Obesity is a risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). Objective The objective of
this article is to investigate whether anthropometric measures reflecting visceral obesity are …

Background: Increased body mass index (BMI) is an established colorectal cancer risk
factor. High waist circumference or waist-hip-ratio (WHR) may better reflect an abnormal …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to evaluate the association of body size and fat distribution
with the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Chinese men and women. DESIGN: This was a …

Background: Epidemiological studies have shown inconsistent results for the association
between body size and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. Inconsistencies may be because of the …

Background Colorectal cancer (CRC), has a link between obesity, especially visceral fat.
The body roundness index (BRI) can more accurately assess body fat and visceral fat levels …

Background: It is unclear whether obesity phenotypes measured by different anthropometric
indices are associated with a risk of colorectal adenocarcinoma by anatomical location …

Purpose There is no published dose–response meta-analysis on the association between
height and colorectal cancer risk (CRC) by sex and anatomical sub-site. We conducted a …
