[Relationship between body mass index and colon cancer].

Ai Zheng

State Key Laboratory of Oncology in South China, Guangzhou, Guangdong, 510060, PR China.

Published: September 2009

Background And Objective: Obesity is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer. Many studies showed that body mass index (BMI) is related to the incidence of colon cancer. This study was to explore the relationship between BMI and colon cancer in Chinese population and provide evidences for the prevention of colon cancer.

Methods: Clinical data, including BMI, of 707 colon cancer patients and 709 healthy subjects were compared.

Results: The mean BMI was significantly higher in colon cancer patients than in healthy subjects [(24.52+/-4.56) kg/m2 vs. (23.75+/-3.14) kg/m2, t=-3.72, P<0.001]. When stratified by sex and age, the BMI was always higher in colon cancer patients than in healthy subjects. Logistic regression analyses showed that BMI was an important risk factor of colon cancer (odds ratio=1.059, 95% confidence interval=1.029-1.090).

Conclusion: The occurrence of colon cancer in Chinese population is related to BMI.
