Abstract:
What's new? Little is known about the etiology of small intestine cancer. In this study, there was little evidence for an association of body mass index with small intestine cancer. However, strong positive associations were found for triglycerides and a metabolic score in women, and glucose was further positively associated with adenocarcinoma of the small intestine in women. A healthy lifestyle preventing metabolic aberrations may prevent small intestine cancer in women. Cancers of the small intestine are often detected at a late stage with a poor prognosis. Thus it would be helpful to understand etiological factors that lead to these cancers. In this large, prospective study, the authors found strong positive associations between small intestine cancer and triglycerides, glucose, or metabolic scores—but only among women. BMI had little effect in either sex. These results indicate that lifestyle changes that reduce metabolic aberrations may help reduce the risk of small intestine cancer in women.
