There was an analysis reported on out of Sweden in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition regarding the link between obesity and the risk of colon and rectal cancer. Thirty perspective studies were included in the meta-analysis of body mass index (BMI). Increases in BMI were positively associated with increased risk of rectal cancer in men but not women. Colon cancer, however, seemed to correlate with increasing waist circumference in both men and women.
