PY - 2006 DA - 2006/03/27 TI - Anthropometric measures in relation to Basal Cell Carcinoma: a longitudinal study JO - BMC Cancer SP - 82 VL - 6 IS - 1 AB - The relationship between anthropometric indices and risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is largely unknown. We aimed to examine the association between anthropometric measures and development of BCC and to demonstrate whether adherence to World Health Organisation guidelines for body mass index, waist circumference, and waist/hip ratio was associated with risk of BCC, independent of sun exposure.
