Trajectories of body fatness in adulthood and the risk of ovarian cancer
Background
While excess body fatness in older adulthood has been linked to ovarian cancer, the influence of changes in body fatness over time is unclear. This study examined the association between adulthood trajectories of body mass index (BMI), a proxy for body fatness, and ovarian cancer.
Methods
In a population-based case-control study (440 cases, 820 controls), we used a group-based trajectory approach to identify BMI trajectories from age 20–70. Using unconditional logistic regression, we estimated adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI) for the associations between the estimated trajectories and ovarian cancer.
Results
We identified three distinct BMI trajectories: a normal-stable trajectory, a normal-to-overweight trajectory and an overweight-to-obese trajectory, which included 63.2 %, 31.0 % and 6.8 % of the population, respectively. Multivariable aORs suggested that participants with normal weight at the onset of adulthood who became overweight over their adulthood time did not differ in their risk of ovarian cancer compared to those who maintained a normal weight throughout adulthood (aOR (95 %CI): 0.89 (0.69–1.16)). Among those in the overweight-to-obese trajectory, the aOR (95 %CI) was 1.45 (0.87–2.43), and thus in the direction of an increased ovarian cancer risk compared to those who maintained a normal weight.
Conclusion
Our findings underscore the need for further research to clarify the role of body fatness across the lifetime in the etiology of ovarian cancer.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Epidemiology is dedicated to increasing understanding about cancer causes, prevention and control. The scope of the journal embraces all aspects of cancer epidemiology including:
• Descriptive epidemiology
• Studies of risk factors for disease initiation, development and prognosis
• Screening and early detection
• Prevention and control
• Methodological issues
The journal publishes original research articles (full length and short reports), systematic reviews and meta-analyses, editorials, commentaries and letters to the editor commenting on previously published research.
