Associating the risk of three urinary cancers with obesity and overweight: an overview with evidence mapping of systematic reviews

ConclusionsThis comprehensive quantitative analysis provides an affirmation that overweight and obesity are strong risk factors for kidney cancer, owing to a strong association between them. Conversely, a weak association between overweight and obesity with bladder and prostate cancers confirms their status as mild risk factors for the 2 types of cancer. But due to the low quality of included SRs, the results need to be interpreted with caution.Systematic review registrationPROSPEROCRD42019119459
