| Abstract: | BackgroundThe relation between body mass index (BMI) and incidence of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has been suggested, but no systematic review has been undertaken.Material and MethodsWe performed a literature search through December 2012. Meta-analyses were performed to quantify the relative risk (RR) of DLBCL incidence in overweight and obese persons compared with normal weight individuals using the random-effects model. Subset analyses were performed according to study design, sex, and geographic region. Overweight was defined as a BMI 25 to 29.9 kg/m2, and obesity was defined as a BMI of 30 kg/m2. Meta-regression, using an unrestricted maximum likelihood model, was performed to evaluate the linear association between BMI and odds of DLBCL.ResultsOur study included 6 case-control and 10 cohort studies. The RR of DLBCL in overweight individuals was 1.14 (95% confidence interval CI], 1.04-1.24; P = .004), and in obese individuals, RR was 1.29 (95% CI, 1.16-1.43; P < .001). The RR of DLBCL in overweight men and women was 1.22 and 1.27, respectively. In overweight individuals, both prospective and case-control studies showed an RR of 1.13. The RR of DLBCL in obese men and women was 1.40 and 1.34, respectively. In obese individuals, the RR in prospective studies was 1.25 and in case-control studies it was 1.33. Meta-regression analysis showed a 14% increase in DLBCL incidence for each 10 kg/m2 increase in BMI.ConclusionAn increased BMI is associated with higher RR of DLBCL regardless of sex. Also, there seems to be a linear association between BMI and DLBCL incidence. |
