We examined data on body weight and height from 55 male and 26 female lung cancer cases and up to 10 sex-ethnicity-age matched controls per case from a large prospective cohort. All four body mass indices (W/H, W/H2, W/Hp) were highly intercorrelated. Conditional logistic regression, using each index as the exposure variable, yielded odds ratios for lung cancer with magnitude and dose-response gradient that were somewhat different among the four indices. These results suggest that the body mass indices are not necessarily interchangeable in measuring obesity-disease associations.
我们研究了来自一个大型前瞻性队列中55例男性和26例女性肺癌患者的数据,以及每位患者最多10名按性别、种族、年龄匹配的对照的数据。所有四种体重指数(体重/身高、体重/身高²、体重/身高p)之间的相关性都很高。以每种指数作为暴露变量进行条件逻辑回归分析,得出的肺癌比值比在大小和剂量反应梯度方面,四种指数之间略有不同。这些结果表明,在衡量肥胖与疾病的关联时,体重指数不一定可以相互替代。
