Popis: Body size, height, and physical inactivity are known to alter immune function and have been hypothesized to increase risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). However, results of other studies are inconsistent and whether these relationships vary by histologic subtypes of NHL is not well-documented. Therefore, we examined measures of body size (BMI, adult weight gain, and BMI at age 18), height, physical activity, and sitting time in relation to risk of NHL overall and within the major subtypes (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), and multiple myeloma (MM)) in the American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study II (CPS-II) Nutrition Cohort, a prospective study of cancer incidence and mortality, using information obtained at baseline in 1992. From 1992-2007, 2000 incident NHL cases were identified among 150,189 men and women who were cancer-free at enrollment. Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to compute hazard rate ratios (RR) while adjusting for potential confounders. Obese men and women (BMI > 30) had a 20% higher incidence of all NHL (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-1.37) compared to normal weight individuals (BMI 18.5- Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].
