Visceral obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing esophago-gastric junctional adenocarcinoma in Japan: a population-based case –control study in Akita Prefecture

ConclusionsWe found paradoxical associations between EGJACs and obesity-related parameters (BMI vs. VFA) in a Japanese population, suggesting a potentially pivotal role of the VFA rather than the BMI as a risk factor for EGJACs.
