Background Classical anthropometric traits may fail to fully represent the relationship of
weight, adiposity, and height with cancer risk. We investigated the associations of body …

Obesity is a risk factor for cancer. However, it is not known if general adiposity, as measured
by body mass index (BMI) or central adiposity [eg, waist circumference (WC)] have stronger …

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 …

Abdominal size is associated positively with the risk of some cancers but the influence of
body mass index (BMI) and gluteofemoral size is unclear because waist and hip …

Although excess adiposity has been linked with various cancers, association between body
composition and some cancers remains unclear, like lung and prostate cancers. We …

Background: Few studies have explored the emerging adiposity marker A Body Shape Index
(ABSI) with cancer risk. This study investigated the associations between ABSI and the …

Background Evidence for the impact of body size and composition on cancer risk is limited.
This mendelian randomisation (MR) study investigates evidence supporting causal …

Background/objective Obesity has been associated with the risk of developing certain
cancers. A limited number of studies have examined effects of various anthropometric …

Studies of anthropometry and cancer have focused on body mass index (BMI). Relations
between weight, waist (WC) and hip circumferences (HC), birth length and adult height with …

Anthropometric measures relating to body size, weight and composition are increasingly
being associated with cancer risk and progression. Whilst practical in epidemiologic …
