There is a common perception that excess adiposity, commonly approximated by body mass index (BMI), is associated with reduced cancer survival. A number of studies have emerged challenging this by demonstrating that overweight and early obese states are associated with improved survival. This finding is termed the “obesity paradox” and is well recognized in the cardio-metabolic literature but less...
Purpose Although obesity is a well-known risk factor for several cancers, its role on cancer survival is poorly understood. Methods Within the VHM&PP cohort, 8,673 cancer patients (42.2 % women) were followed over a median time of 11.9 years. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the association of pre-diagnostic overweight (BMI 25.0–29.9 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI ≥ 30.0 kg/m2)...
