Relationship Among Body Mass Index, Survival, Cancer Treatment and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Older Patients with Bladder Cancer
Our findings suggest a dual role of BMI in older patients with bladder cancer: higher BMI provides a survival advantage and, to an extent, a QoL advantage. At the same time, severe obesity did lead to the lowest QoL despite improved survival outcomes. These results underscore the complex interplay between BMI, survival, and QoL in this bladder cancer population.
