Association Between Metabolic Syndrome and Its Components and the Risk of Head and Neck Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
In conclusion, our meta-analysis found little evidence of an association between MetS and the risk of developing HNC. However, high LDL and total cholesterol levels may be associated with a reduced risk of HNC, while being underweight may be associated with increased risk of HNC. These results need to be interpreted with caution due to the limited number of supporting studies.
