Abstract:
Body mass index (BMI) is an index closely related to the total body fat. It is often used to measure the degree of obesity and reflect the nutritional status of the human body to a certain extent. The incidence rate and mortality rate of gynecological malignancies remain high. Some studies have found that BMI has certain value in the incidence and prognosis evaluation of gynecological malignancies, and is crucial to prolong the survival of patients. This review summarizes the recent research progress on the correlation between BMI and common gynecological malignancies and the mechanism of BMI on its occurrence and development.
