Popis: The association between body mass index (BMI) and lung cancer is still disputed because of possible residual confounding by smoking and preclinical weight loss in case–control studies. We examined this association using data from the multicenter ICARE study in France, a large, population-based case–control study. A total of 2,625 incident lung cancer cases and 3,381 controls were included. Weight was collected at interview, 2 years before the interview, and at age 30. Lifetime smoking exposure was calculated using the comprehensive smoking index (CSI). Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95 % confidence intervals were estimated by unconditional logistic regression and controlled for age, area, education, CSI, occupational exposure, previous chronic bronchitis, and parental history of lung cancer. We also examined the role of weight change. Analyses were stratified by smoking status and sex. When compared with that of men with normal BMI 2 years before the interview, lung cancer aORs (95 % CI) among men with BMIs of
