Association between waist circumference and risk of colorectal neoplasia in normal-weight adults
Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Nov 01, 2019
Jung YS, Kim NH, Yang HJ, et al. - Researchers conducted this cross-sectional study to explore the connection between waist circumference (WC) and the colorectal neoplasia (CRN) risk in normal-weight people, separately in men and women. The study sample consisted of asymptomatic normal-weight (BMI 18.5-23 kg/m2) people who completed colonoscopies as health checkups. Of the 63,057 examinees, there were 30,498 men (mean age, 41.1 years) and 32,559 women (mean age, 41.7 years). Data reported that the prevalence of advanced CRN (ACRN) in WC quartiles 1, 2, 3, and 4 was 1.5%, 1.3%, 1.6%, and 2.1%, respectively, in men, and 1.0%, 1.3%, 1.2%, and 1.3%, respectively, in women. A large WC was linked to the risk of CRN, particularly with the risk of ACRN in men, even with normal weight.
