Abstract
Purpose: There is limited evidence regarding body mass index (BMI) as an early marker of high-risk adenoma (HRA) at the time of screening colonoscopy. Because high-risk adenomas (HRA) can develop into colorectal cancer (CRC), BMI could serve as an important clinical predictor of future risk of CRC.
Methods: We examined data from 1831 adults undergoing screening colonoscopy at the Forzani & MacPhail Colon Cancer Screening Center in Alberta, Canada. We fit multivariable logistic regression models to examine the association between BMI and HRA. Non-linear relationships for BMI on HRA were also evaluated using restricted cubic splines.
Results: The mean BMI in patients with HRA was 28.2 kg/m2 compared to 27.4 kg/m2 in patients without adenomas (t test: p = 0.003). In the adjusted models, those with a BMI over 30 kg/m2 had 1.45 (95% CI 1.05-2.00) times the odds of HRA detected during colonoscopy compared to those with a BMI below 25 kg/m2. Examining BMI as continuous, the odds of HRA were 1.20 (95% CI 1.04-1.37) times higher for every 5 kg/m2 increase in BMI.
Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that excess body mass is associated with higher risk of HRA among a screening population and may be useful an early marker of future disease.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Causes & Control is an international refereed journal that both reports and stimulates new avenues of investigation into the causes, control, and subsequent prevention of cancer. By drawing together related information published currently in a diverse range of biological and medical journals, it has a multidisciplinary and multinational approach.
The scope of the journal includes: variation in cancer distribution within and between populations; factors associated with cancer risk; preventive and therapeutic interventions on a population scale; economic, demographic, and health-policy implications of cancer; and related methodological issues.
The emphasis is on speed of publication. The journal will normally publish within 30 to 60 days of acceptance of manuscripts.
Cancer Causes & Control publishes Original Articles, Reviews, Commentaries, Opinions, Short Communications and Letters to the Editor which will have direct relevance to researchers and practitioners working in epidemiology, medical statistics, cancer biology, health education, medical economics and related fields. The journal also contains significant information for government agencies concerned with cancer research, control and policy.
