Title
Associations of BMI trajectories, weight gain, and the risk of pancreatic, biliary, liver and upper gi cancers
Summary
While research has revealed a correlation between body mass index (BMI) and a reduced risk of pancreatic cancer, the impact of BMI trajectories on pancreatic cancer risk remains uncharted territory. Our objective is to investigate the relationship between BMI trajectories and the risk of pancreatic cancer within a cohort from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial. We endeavor to uncover distinct patterns of BMI trajectory effects on various subpopulations.
Aims
1. To explore the correlation between BMI trajectories and pancreatic cancer risk;
2. To unveil unique patterns of BMI trajectory effects within diverse subpopulations.
