Genetic relationships and causality between overall and central adiposity and breast, prostate, lung and colorectal cancer

2022-12-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>OBJECTIVE</h4> Diverse measures of obesity relate to cancer risk differently. Here we assess the relationship between overall and central adiposity and cancer. <h4>METHODS</h4> We constructed z-score weighted polygenic scores (PGS) for two obesity-related phenotypes; body mass index (BMI) and BMI adjusted waist-to-hip ratio (WHRadjBMI) and tested for their association with five cancers in the...
