Colorectal Cancer and Central Obesity
In this cohort study of approximately half a million participants, the PAF of CRC attributable to excess weight, defined as high BMI, was considerably underestimated. The PAFs attributable to WC and WHR were consistent and much higher, underlining the importance of efforts to limit and overcome the obesity epidemic in CRC prevention.
