OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of BMI on @entity694 in average-risk @entity1 aged between 40 and 59 years, analyzed by sex. METHODS: A total of 4443 @entity1 aged between 40 and 59 years undergoing a first-time screening or average-risk colonoscopy were included in this study. Data on demographics, smoking, and BMI were collected and correlated to the presence of @entity652 and advanced @entity652 . RESULTS: We evaluated 1197 colonoscopies in @entity1 aged between 40 and 49 years, and 3246 in those aged between 50 and 59 years. Among @entity1 between 40 and 49 years, increasing BMI [odds ratio (OR)=1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.00-1.09] and BMI of at least 27 (OR=1.95, 95% CI: 1.15-3.29) were predictors of @entity652 . Younger @entity1 with a BMI of at least 27 were more likely to have proximal @entity652 (OR=2.23, 95% CI: 1.14-4.37) but not advanced @entity652 . There was no relation between BMI and @entity652 in younger @entity1 . Among @entity1 aged between 50 and 59 years, increasing BMI (OR=1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.05) and a BMI of at least 24 (OR=1.43, 95% CI: 1.06-2.94) was found to be correlated with @entity652 , and increasing BMI was also found to be associated with proximal @entity652 (OR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.13-2.45). Among @entity1 aged between 50 and 59 years, there was no relation between BMI and @entity652 , but there was a positive correlation for advanced @entity652 (OR=1.05, 95% CI: 1.002-1.09). Among @entity1 aged between 50 and 59 years, BMI was not predictive of advanced @entity652 . CONCLUSION: The association between BMI and @entity652 differs by age and sex. If BMI is utilized to refine screening practices for @entity14 , its influence on sex and age should be taken into account.

Can adjusting BMI for age and sex provide for a better predictor of XXXX ?
