Body mass index trajectories, weight gain and risks of liver and biliary tract cancers. | LitMetric

Background: Little is known about the role of early obesity or weight change during adulthood in the development of liver cancer and biliary tract cancer (BTC).

Methods: We investigated the associations of body mass index (BMI) and weight trajectories with the risk of liver cancer and BTC in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO). BMI was self-reported at ages 20, 50, and at enrollment. BMI trajectories were determined using latent class growth models. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results: During a median follow-up of 15.9 years among 138,922 participants, 170 liver cancer and 143 BTC cases were identified. Compared with those whose BMI does not exceed 25 kg/m2, participants with BMI exceeding 25 kg/m2 at age 20 had increased risks of liver cancer (HR = 2.03, 95% CI: 1.26-3.28) and BTC (HR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.16-3.39). Compared to participants maintaining normal BMI until enrollment, trajectory of normal weight at age 20 to obesity at enrollment was associated with increased risk for liver cancer (HR = 2.50, 95% CI: 1.55-4.04) and BTC (HR = 1.83, 95% CI: 1.03-3.22). Compared to adults with stable weight (+/-5kg) between age 20 to 50 years, weight gain ≥20 kg between ages 20 to 50 years had higher HRs of 2.24 (95%CI: 1.40-3.58) for liver cancer and 1.86 (95% CI: 1.12-3.09) for BTC.

Conclusions: Being overweight/obese at age 20, and BMI trajectories that result in being overweight and/or obese, may increase risk for both liver cancer and BTC.
