Body mass index at adolescence and risk of noncardia gastric cancer in a cohort of 1.79 million men and women

Abstract: The findings suggest that adolescent obesity, but not overweight, is associated with an increased risk for NCGC. Immigration from the FSU, a low residential SES, and a low education level are also significantly associated with the risk for NCGC. Cancer 2018;124:356-63. © 2017 American Cancer Society.

“…15 In another study, obesity was significantly associated with the risk of noncardia gastric cancer. 15,16 In this study, BMI was significantly higher in re-ESD than surgery group (OR, 0.744; 95% CI, 0.563 to 0.983; p=0.037), which showed similar result with previous studies in that higher BMI was significantly associated with less aggressive histology of MGC.…”

“…Finally, our broad occupational category was not designed to detect occupational exposure and differed from occupational categories to detect specific occupational exposure . In addition, we could not assess multiple primary cancer cases or other possible risk factors (overweight, diet, institutional place‐based discrimination, physical activity, and cancer screening program) . Therefore, future studies are warranted to integrate all these aspects of cancer causal pathways.…”

“…Individuals with atrophic gastritis might experience changes in appetite and dietary habits; therefore, given the cross-sectional design of our and others’ studies,20 40 we cannot rule out the possibility of reverse causation as an explanation for discrepant findings. A large prospective study among males in Israel showed that obesity at adolescence to be positively related to increased risk of non-cardia gastric cancer 41…”
