Kurzfassung:
What's new? This large study investigated computed tomography‐measured visceral adipose tissue (VAT) as a risk factor for colorectal adenoma. Multivariate analysis adjusted for age, sex, family history, smoking, alcohol, diabetes mellitus, aspirin use, non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drug use, and obesity index revealed a positive association between adenoma and VAT and the VAT to subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) ratio, but not body mass index and SAT. Only VAT was significantly associated with adenoma in both sexes. Proximal, multiple, and advanced adenomas had significantly higher VAT than distal, solitary, and non‐advanced adenomas. The results implicate abdominal visceral fat in the increase of colorectal cancer cases.
