Among 777 endometrial cancer cases and 1550 controls from Italy and Switzerland, odds ratio was 1.7 ( 95% confidence interval: 1.2 - 2.5) for diabetes, and 5.1 for obese diabetic women as compared with non-obese non-diabetic ones. Diabetes shows a supramultiplicative effect with body mass index, but not with physical activity or hypertension.

Abstract
Among 777 endometrial cancer cases and 1550 controls from Italy and Switzerland, odds ratio was 1.7 ( 95% confidence interval: 1.2 - 2.5) for diabetes, and 5.1 for obese diabetic women as compared with non-obese non-diabetic ones. Diabetes shows a supramultiplicative effect with body mass index, but not with physical activity or hypertension.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
