| Abstract |
The influence of anthropometric characteristics on colorectal neoplasia biology is unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine if adult-attained height is independently associated with the risk of colorectal cancer or adenoma. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science from inception to August 2020 for studies on the association between adult-attained height and colorectal cancer or adenoma. The original data from the Johns Hopkins Colon Biofilm study was also included. The overall hazard ratio/odds ratio of colorectal cancer/adenoma with increased height was estimated using random-effects meta-analysis. We included 47 observational studies involving 280,644 colorectal cancer and 14,139 colorectal adenoma cases. Thirty-three studies reported data for colorectal cancer incidence per 10-cm increase in height; 19 yielded a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.14 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11 to 1.17, P<0.001), and 14 engendered an odds ratio (OR) of 1.09 (95% CI, 1.05 to 1.13, P<0.001). Twenty-six studies compared colorectal cancer incidence between individuals within the highest versus the lowest height percentile; 19 indicated an HR of 1.24 (95% CI, 1.19 to 1.30, P<0.001), and seven resulting in an OR of 1.07 (95% CI, 0.92 to 1.25, P=0.39). Four studies reported data for assessing colorectal adenoma incidence per 10-cm increase in height, showing an overall OR of 1.06 (95% CI, 1.00 to 1.12, P=0.03). Greater adult attained height is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer and adenoma. Height should be considered as a risk factor for colorectal cancer screening. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 613. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 June 2022.
All research outputs
#36,683
of 25,394,764 outputs
Outputs from Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention
#15
of 4,851 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,307
of 449,101 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention
#1
of 93 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,394,764 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,851 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 449,101 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 93 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
