The impact of BMI on subgroups of uterine cancer

BACKGROUND: Obesity increases the risk of uterine cancer, but results by histological type have differed. METHODS: We followed 36 755 women for 17.8 years for uterine cancers. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Body mass index (BMI) was positively associated with uterine cancers as a whole, particularly for en...

description BACKGROUND: Obesity increases the risk of uterine cancer, but results by histological type have differed. METHODS: We followed 36 755 women for 17.8 years for uterine cancers. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Body mass index (BMI) was positively associated with uterine cancers as a whole, particularly for endometrioid adenocarcinomas, for which the relative risk for very obese women (BMI: ⩾40 kg m(−2)) compared with lean (BMI: 20–24 kg m(−2)) women, was 11.1 (95% confidence interval: 5.2–23.8).
