• Body mass index, triglyceride-glucose index, and prostate cancer death: a mediation analysis in eight European cohorts

      Background Insulin resistance is a hypothesised biological mechanism linking obesity with prostate cancer (PCa) death. Data in support of this hypothesis is limited. Methods We included 259,884 men from eight European ...
    • Metabolically (un)healthy obesity and risk of obesity-related cancers: a pooled study 

      Sun, Ming; Fritz, Josef; Häggström, Christel; Bjørge, Tone; Nagel, Gabriele; Manjer, Jonas; Engeland, Anders; Zitt, Emanuel; Guelpen, Bethany van; Stattin, Pär; Ulmer, Hanno; Stocks, Tanja (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Background Studies of obesity with or without metabolic aberrations, commonly termed metabolically unhealthy or healthy obesity, in relation to cancer risk are scarce. Methods We investigated body mass index (normal ...
    • The triglyceride-glucose index as a measure of insulin resistance and risk of obesity-related cancers 

      Fritz, Josef; Bjørge, Tone; Nagel, Gabriele; Manjer, Jonas; Engeland, Anders; Häggström, Christel; Concin, Hans; Teleka, Stanley; Tretli, Steinar; Gylling, Björn; Lang, Alois; Stattin, Pär; Stocks, Tanja; Ulmer, Hanno (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background: The role of insulin resistance as a mediator in the association of body mass index (BMI) with site-specific cancer risk has, to our knowledge, never been systematically quantified. Methods: Altogether 510 471 ...
