Central adiposity was significantly associated with PCa (OR 1.66, CI 95% 1.05–2.63, P = 0.03) and high-grade disease (OR 2.56, CI 95% 1.38–4.76, P = 0.003) |
Nemesure et al70 |
|
|
WC of ≥ 102 cm had an OR of 1.84 (95% CI 1.19–2.85) compared with those with WC of < 90 cm |
Irani et al69 |
|
|
Obesity was significantly associated with PCa (OR 2.47, 95% CI 1.41–4.34) |
De Nunzio et al68 |
|
|
Obesity was significantly associated with PCa (OR 1.097, 95% CI 1.029–1.171) |
Rundle et al72 |
|
|
Obesity at the time of biopsy was associated with PCa incidence during follow-up (OR 1.57; 95% CI 1.07–2.30) |
Park et al71 |
|
|
Obesity was significantly associated with a higher risk of detection on PCa in biopsy patients (OR = 1.446, P = 0.024) Obesity was significantly associated with a higher rate of high-grade PCa detected from the biopsy (OR = 1.498, P = 0.039) |
