Height, body mass index and prostate cancer risk and mortality by way of detection and cancer risk category

International Journal of Cancer Jul 01, 2020

Jochems SHJ, Stattin P, Haggström C, et al. - This study was intended to assess height and body mass index (BMI) among 431,902 men in five Swedish cohorts in relation to prostate cancer (PCa) risk, according to cancer risk category and detection mode, and PCa‐specific mortality using Cox regression. A positive association was found between height and localized intermediate‐risk PCa, while overweight and obesity were negatively correlated with localized low‐ and intermediate‐risk PCa. Among obese men, the higher PCa‐specific mortality across all PCa risk categories in this study implies obesity as a potential target to improve the prognosis of obese PCa patients.
