Abstract
The present study aimed at exploring the relations between body mass index (BMI, (weight in kilograms)/(height in meters)2) and stature and cancer of the small intestine (1162 cases) in a large Norwegian cohort (of two million) with measured height and weight. Elevated BMI in males and increasing height in both sexes were associated with a moderately increased risk of cancer of the small intestine.British Journal of Cancer (2005) 93, 807–810. doi:10.1038/sj.bjc.6602789 www.bjcancer.com Published online 20 September 2005 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
