BackgroundThere is convincing evidence that overall adiposity (as measured by body mass index) increases the risks of several cancers. Whether there are similar relationships between these cancers and the distribution of adiposity is unclear. MethodsIn the absence of well-powered individual studies we utilised two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to examine causal relationships of five adiposity distribution traits (abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue; ASAT, visceral adipose tissue; VAT an...
