ContextDiabetes mellitus and elevated postload plasma glucose levels have been
associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer in previous studies. By virtue of their …

Background: Obesity and physical activity, in part through their effects on insulin sensitivity,
may be modifiable risk factors for pancreatic cancer. Methods: The authors analyzed data …

Objective To examine body mass index (BMI) and physical activity as risk factors for
pancreatic cancer. Methods Eight-year prospective data from 77,255 men and 90,175 …

Obesity and lack of physical activity have been inconsistently associated with pancreatic
cancer. Using data from a self-administered baseline questionnaire (1995–1996), the …

To explore the hypothesis that insulin resistance may be an etiologic factor in pancreatic
cancer, we assessed the pancreatic cancer risk associated with anthropometric factors and …

Background Obesity has been proposed as a risk factor for pancreatic cancer. Methods
Pooled data were analyzed from the National Cancer Institute Pancreatic Cancer Cohort …

Context Obesity has been implicated as a risk factor for pancreatic cancer. Objective To
demonstrate the association of excess body weight across an age cohort and the risk, age of …

Epidemiologic studies of pancreatic cancer risk have reported null or nonsignificant positive
associations for obesity, while associations for height have been null. Waist and hip …

Objective To investigate whether the positive association of body mass index (BMI, kg/m 2)
with risk of pancreatic cancer is modified by age, sex, smoking status, physical activity, and …

Although mounting evidence suggests that insulin resistance is involved in pancreatic
carcinogenesis, few epidemiologic studies have comprehensively investigated the role of …
