Body mass index associated with childhood and adolescent high‐risk B‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia risk: A Children’s Oncology Group report

摘要

Obesity is a risk factor for many adulthood cancers, but its role in childhood, adolescent, and young adult (AYA) cancer is unknown. Childhood and AYA acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) incidence and obesity prevalence have shown concurrent increases. We sought to identify whether obesity may be a risk factor for childhood and AYA ALL.
