Background: The metabolically healthy obese (MHO) phenotype is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in the general population. However, association of metabolic health and obesity phenotypes with CHD risk in adult cancer survivors remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the associations between different metabolic health and obesity phenotypes with incident CHD in adult cancer survivors.

Adult cancer survivors may have an increased risk of developing ischemic stroke, potentially influenced by cancer treatment-related factors and shared risk factors with stroke. However, the association between gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels and the risk of ischemic stroke in this population remains understudied. Therefore, our study aimed to examine the relationship between GGT levels and the risk of ischemic stroke using a population-based cohort of adult cancer survivors.
