In the United States, lung cancer is the second most common diagnosed cancer and the
leading cause of cancer-related death. Although tobacco smoking is the major risk factor …

The prevalence of excess body weight and the associated cancer burden have been rising
over the past several decades globally. Between 1975 and 2016, the prevalence of excess …

Excess body adiposity, commonly expressed as body mass index (BMI), is a risk factor for
many common adult cancers. Over the past decade, epidemiological data have shown that …

Background High body-mass index (BMI) predisposes to several site-specific cancers, but a
large-scale systematic and detailed characterisation of patterns of risk across all common …

At the time of cancer diagnosis, body mass index (BMI) is inversely correlated with lung
cancer risk, which may reflect reverse causality and confounding due to smoking behavior …

In recent years, we've developed a much better grasp of the biological and other factors
associated with the development of obesity. Reflecting our evolving understanding of …

Observational epidemiologic studies are prone to confounding, measurement error, and
reverse causation, undermining robust causal inference. Mendelian randomization (MR) …

Abstract Purpose of Review Controversy exists whether excess body fatness (measured by
body mass index (BMI)) is associated with better cancer survival (“obesity paradox”). Here …

Background: Adiposity traits have been associated with risk of many cancers in
observational studies, but whether these associations are causal is unclear. Mendelian …

Background Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world. In addition to the
geographical and sex-specific differences in the incidence, mortality, and survival rates of …
