【摘要】Background Few studies have used body mass index (BMI),waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist circumference (WC) at the same time to investigate the association between obesity and colorectal adenoma.This study examined the strength of association between colorectal adenoma and obesity using not only BMI,but also WHR and WC.Methods Subjects of this study included 1322 asymptomatic patients who underwent colonoscopy for cancer screening from January 2006 to June 2008.Anthropometric measurements,blood test results,and a
self-administered
questionnaire

were
analyzed.Results Four hundred and fourteen adenoma cases were identified in 1322 subjects.Using univariate analysis,the prevalence of adenoma was associated with BMI and WHR and was higher among the abdominal obesity group using WC guidelines of the Korean Society for the Study of Obesity,but not using WC guidelines of the International Diabetes Federation.In multiple Logistic regression analysis,general obesity (BMI ＞25 kg/m2) increased the risk of colorectal adenoma (odds
