Dose-Response Association between Adiposity and Liver Cancer Incidence: A Prospective Cohort Study among Non-Smoking and Non-Alcohol-Drinking Chinese Women.

Background: Based on a population with very low prevalence of smoking and alcohol drinking, we examined the associations between overall obesity and fat distribution in middle age, obesity in early adulthood, and adult weight gain with the risk of liver cancer incidence.

Methods: The associations between body mass index (BMI) at study enrollment and at age 20, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), adult weight gain, and annual average weight gain with the risk of liver cancer were estimated using Cox regression models. Multivariable-adjusted HRs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.

Population attributable risk of excess weight, abdominal obesity and physical inactivity for type 2 diabetes in Chinese men and women.

Background: Given the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the Chinese population, it is necessary to estimate the T2DM incident attributable to obesity and physical inactivity.

Methods: We analyzed the data from the Shanghai Men's and Women's Health Studies, including 56,691 men and 70,849 women aged 40-74. The hazard ratios (HRs) and the population attributable risks (PARs) were calculated by Cox regression model and model-based estimation.
