Does high body fatness increase the risk of presence and growth of colorectal adenomas followed up in situ for 3 years?

Abstract

Our data suggest that high body fatness is a promoter of adenoma growth. Similar results were obtained with the caliper and Futrex 5000, which lends credibility to this study. For repeated documentation, a larger study population should be investigated. To our knowledge, this is the first case-control study to investigate the relationship between body composition and growth of adenoma by follow-up in situ over 3 yr.
