Risk Factors Associated with Pancreatic Cancer in the UK Biobank Cohort

ABSTRACT:

Simple Summary

The study explored pancreatic cancer (PaCa) risk factors in the UK Biobank cohort. The risk factors included non-modifiable risk factors: age, gender, and modifiable risk factors: cigarette smoking, overweight and obesity, increased waist circumstance, abdominal obesity, Diabetic Mellitus (DM), and pancreatitis history. The study findings suggested that stopping cigarette smoking, avoiding overweight or obesity, abdominal obesity, Diabetic Mellitus, and pancreatitis history could contribute to a significant reduction in future PaCa cases if these exposures are avoided.
