| Abstract: | The influence of body mass index (BMI) on oral cancer risk was evaluated in 375 incident cases and 375 age-gender-matched hospital-based controls. Low BMIs at diagnosis and 2 years before diagnosis were associated with significantly elevated odds ratios (OR for BMI < or =22 vs >26 kg m(-2); 3.64; 95% confidence interval, CI: 2.27-5.82 and 3.31; 95% CI: 2.04-5.39, respectively). The association with low BMI, however, tended to be weaker and nonsignificant among never smokers and never drinkers. |
