Associations between obesity, metabolic syndrome, and endometrial cancer risk in East Asian women.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study investigated the associations between obesity, metabolic syndrome (MetS), the combination of these two components as a metabolic obesity phenotype, and endometrial cancer risk in East Asian women.

Methods

A total of 6,097,686 cancer-free women aged 40-74 years who underwent the National Health Insurance Service health examination between 2009 and 2010 were included. Cancer incidence was identified using the healthcare utilization database. Associations between baseline obesity (body mass index <23 kg/m², 23-24.9 kg/m², ≥25 kg/m²), MetS, each component of MetS, MetS stratified by obesity status, combination of obesity and MetS, and endometrial cancer risk were investigated using hazard ratios (HRs).

Results

Obesity, each component of MetS, and MetS
