Fig. 3: Sex-specific associations between visceral obesity indices and overall cancer incidence in different populations with different drinking status.


a Associations in males. b Associations in females. HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval. Stratified analyses were conducted to examine whether the potential association between sex-specific visceral obesity indices and overall cancer incidence differed by drinking status (never vs former or current). All covariates including marital status, education, occupation, smoking status, physical activity (MET-hours/week), BMI (kg/m2), and family history of cancer were adjusted.
