Study: Heavier, taller children at higher risk of kidney cancer
When comparing two 13-year old children with one z-score difference in BMI - equivalent to 5.9 kg for boys and 6.8 kg for girls - but with similar height, the heaviest child had a 14 per cent higher risk of RCC than the leaner child.
For height, a one z-score difference in two 13-year old children was associated with a 12 per cent increased risk of RCC later in life for the taller boy or girl.
"We have found in other studies that childhood height is positively associated with several cancer forms. Therefore, we did expect to find that tall children have a higher risk of RCC than average-sized children," researchers said. "Our findings that heavier and taller children have increased risks of RCC opens the door to new ways to explore the causes of kidney cancer," they said.
