Association of anthropometric indicators with oesophageal squamous carcinoma and precancerous lesions in people aged 40-69 years from high-risk setting in China: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to explore the relationship between multiple anthropometric indicators (AIs), oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and precancerous lesions.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Participants

A total of 10 115 participants aged 40-69 years, recruited between 2017 and 2022 from Yangzhong City, Jiangsu Province, Southeast China, were included in the analysis.

Main outcome measures

The association of 11 AIs with ESCC and precancerous lesions was analysed using multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic splines (RCS).

Results

The prevalence of ESCC and precancerous lesions was 4.52%. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that AIs were not significantly associated with ESCC or precancerous lesions in the total
