Sex Differences in the Effect of Changes in Body Mass Index on the Risk of Developing Gastric Cancer: Findings from a Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study
This study demonstrated that maintaining a BMI in the range of 23.0-24.9 kg/m<sup>2</sup> is optimal for minimizing the risk of non-cardia GC, particularly in males. In females, visceral obesity, represented by a large waist circumference as a proxy, was associated with an increased risk of developing GC.
