Association between metabolic syndrome and 13 types of cancer in Catalonia: A matched case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is the simultaneous occurrence of a cluster of predefined cardiovascular risk factors. Although individual MS components are associated with increased risk of cancer, it is still unclear whether the association between MS and cancer differs from the association between individual MS components and cancer.
