6/7 Our results suggest that obesity-related carcinogenesis involves both excess adiposity and its metabolic consequences. Refining obesity classification by distinguishing preclinical from clinical obesity may improve risk stratification and targeted prevention strategies.

5/7 BMI-based obesity displayed an inverse association with #lungcancer risk. Clinical obesity showed a positive relation, likely because it captures risk related to both excess fat and smoking-induced respiratory dysfunction, making it less prone to smoking confounding.

4/7 Specifically, preclinical obesity was linked to increased cancer risk even in the absence of detectable organ dysfunction, whereas clinical obesity generally conferred a greater risk, particularly for metabolically-driven cancers such as liver cancer.

3/7 Classifying obesity by presence or absence of organ dysfunction uncovers nuanced obesity-cancer associations.

2/7 We directly compared preclinical obesity, clinical obesity, and the traditional BMI-based definition with the risk of 28 types of cancer.

New, evidence-based definition distinguishes “clinical obesity”, a chronic, systemic disease state directly caused by excess adiposity, from “preclinical obesity”, a condition of excess adiposity without current organ dysfunction or limitations in daily activities.
