Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer incidence and mortality in relation to body mass index in the Million Women Study: cohort study.
TL;DR: Increasing body mass index is associated with a significant increase in the risk of cancer for 10 out of 17 specific types examined, and for colorectal cancer, malignant melanoma, breast cancer, and endometrial cancer, the effect ofBody mass index on risk differed significantly according to menopausal status.
