A prospective study of measured body size and height and risk of keratinocyte cancers and melanoma.

Cancer epidemiology - 1 Feb 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The potential influence of measured body weight and height on keratinocyte skin cancer risk has scarcely been studied. Some evidence indicates melanoma risk increases as self-reported height increases, but an association with body mass index (BMI) is less certain. METHODS: We measured body weight and height of 1171 Australian men and women in a community-based skin cancer study in Queensland and...
