OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether @entity1 with a higher body mass index (BMI) are at elevated risk of an advanced @entity5 stage for @entity1358 at diagnosis. A high BMI has recently been proved to be associated with advanced @entity5 stages for some @entity5 . METHODS: From January 1994 to December 2000, 693 operations for @entity1358 were performed in 683 @entity1 at our institution. Ten @entity1 underwent surgery twice for @entity5 . Of the 683 @entity1 , 417 were @entity1 and 266 @entity1 . The mean age at surgery was 62.2 years, and the mean @entity5 diameter was 5.2 cm. Seventy-eight percent of the @entity1 were asymptomatic at @entity5 diagnosis. The following parameters were evaluated with regard to a possible correlation to @entity5 stage and/or @entity5 diameter: BMI, presence of symptoms, age, sex, hemoglobin, @entity880 dehydrogenase, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, serum @entity165 , and @entity1674 . For statistical analysis, the Spearman rank correlation test was used. RESULTS: The mean BMI was 26.8 +/- 4.4 (range 16.9 to 44.3). Statistical analysis showed a significant positive correlation between advanced T stage and the presence of symptoms (P <0.0001), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (P <0.0001), @entity880 dehydrogenase (P = 0.0015), and age (P = 0.046), and an inverse correlation with hemoglobin (P <0.0001) and serum @entity165 (P <0.0001). For all other investigated parameters, including BMI, no significant correlation could be proved. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that @entity28 @entity1 are not at greater risk of advanced @entity5 stages of @entity1358 at the time of diagnosis compared with a population of normal weight.

Do XXXX with a higher body mass index have a greater risk of @entity1358 ?
