description The present study aimed at exploring the relations between body mass index (BMI, (weight in kilograms)/(height in meters)(2)) and stature and cancer of the small intestine (1162 cases) in a large Norwegian cohort (of two million) with measured height and weight. Elevated BMI in males and increasing height in both sexes were associated with a moderately increased risk of cancer of the small intestine.
