Title
Exploring the relationship between different indicators of alternative lipid distribution and cancer
Summary
Although previous studies have linked the relationships between body mass index (BMI) and cancers, the findings of the current study remain controversial. In particular, the existence of the "obesity paradox" is confusing. It has been suggested that the emergence of this paradox can be attributed to the inaccuracy of using BMI to refer to an individual's fat distribution. Therefore, the use of more accurate metrics to assess the relationships between obesity and cancers is warranted. On the other hand, BMI trajectories can be used to identify the impact of dynamic weight changes on various cancers.
Aims
1.Exploring the relationships between different indicators of alternative lipid distribution and various cancers.
2. Exploring the relationships between BMI trajectory and cancers.
