Normal weight obesity and the risk of liver cancer in 0.3 million Chinese adults: a prospective multicenter cohort study
NWO confers an increased risk of liver cancer in this Chinese population. Our findings suggest that body fat loss may be beneficial in reducing liver cancer risk in individuals with a normal BMI, and highlight that the traditional BMI categorization may be inadequate in risk stratification of this cancer.
