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

Obesity has been consistently associated with a greater colorectal cancer risk, but this
relationship is weaker among women. In the UK Biobank, we investigated the associations …

It remains unknown whether adiposity subtypes are differentially associated with colorectal
cancer (CRC). To move beyond single-trait anthropometric indicators, we derived four multi …

Background Obesity is positively associated with colorectal cancer. Recently, body size
subtypes categorised by the prevalence of hyperinsulinaemia have been defined, and …

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

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 …

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 …

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