Body fatness associations with cancer: evidence from recent epidemiological studies and future directions

30 Sept 2022

Abstract excerpt

This narrative review highlights current evidence linking greater body fatness to risk of various cancers, with focus on evidence from recent large cohort studies and pooled analyses of cohort studies as well as Mendelian randomization studies (which utilized genetic variants associated with body mass index to debrief the causal effect of higher body fatness on cancer risk). This review also provides insights...
