Adiposity and breast, endometrial, and colorectal cancer risk in postmenopausal women: Quantification of the mediating effects of leptin, C-reactive protein, fasting insulin, and estradiol

S. Ghazaleh Dashti et al.

Summary: This study quantified the mediating roles of CRP, leptin, fasting insulin, and estradiol in the effect of adiposity on breast, endometrial, and colorectal cancer risk. The results suggest that these mediators play different roles in the association between high BMI and cancer risk in postmenopausal women, with possibly varying levels of importance between cancer types.

Anthropometric measures and breast cancer risk among Hispanic women in Puerto Rico

F. A. Ramirez-Marrero et al.

Summary: This study examines the association between anthropometric characteristics and breast cancer risk among Hispanic women in Puerto Rico (PR). The study found that there are differences in breast cancer risk related to anthropometric measures in PR compared to previous studies.

Associations of body shape index (ABSI) and hip index with liver, metabolic, and inflammatory biomarkers in the UK Biobank cohort

Sofia Christakoudi et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates associations between metabolic biomarkers and body shape as measured by waist and hip size, while inflammatory biomarkers were only associated with waist size. This suggests that different mechanistic pathways may contribute to body shape.

Association of body-shape phenotypes with imaging measures of body composition in the UK Biobank cohort: relevance to colon cancer risk

Sofia Christakoudi et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that Body Shape Index (ABSI) and Hip Index (HI) provide valuable information on body composition and colon cancer risk, with men's risk related to abdominal fat accumulation and women showing weaker associations.

A Body Shape Index (ABSI), hip index, and risk of cancer in the UK Biobank cohort

Sofia Christakoudi et al.

Summary: In men, ABSI is positively associated with several cancers, while HI is inversely associated with some cancers. In women, ABSI is positively associated with several cancers, while HI is inversely associated with skin squamous cell carcinoma, post-menopausal kidney cancer, and post-menopausal melanoma.
