Impact of obesity and metabolic abnormalities on the risk of metachronous colorectal neoplasia after polypectomy in men
Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Jun 13, 2019
Kim NH, et al. - In this investigation, researchers contrasted the risk of metachronous colorectal neoplasia (CRN) among men's subgroups based on obesity and metabolic status. According to obesity and metabolic status, a total of 8059 asymptomatic men who had ≥1 adenoma removed between 2010 and 2014 and follow-up colonoscopic surveillance until 2017 were classified into 4 groups: metabolically healthy non-obese, metabolically-healthy obese, metabolically unhealthy non-obese, and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO). According to findings, men with obesity as well as poor metabolic health were found to be at increased risk of metachronous advanced CRN, implying that after polypectomy, MUO men may need to undergo more intensive colonoscopy surveillance.
