Age-specific and menopause-specific associations between BMI change and the risk of cervical and ovarian cancers: a population-based cohort study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the associations between changes in body mass index (BMI) and the risk of cervical and ovarian cancers, while considering the effects of age and menopausal status. Their findings indicate that excessive BMI gain is linked to an increased risk of cervical cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women, and that the relationship between BMI change and ovarian cancer risk varies significantly by age group. Overall, the study highlights the complex interplay between BMI changes and cancer risk in women.
