Objective: To know the relationship between obesity and gynecology
cancer.
Method: This study use case control study design for 250 gynecology
patients (125 controls and 125 cases) in Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou
Manado Hospital from 1 July to 30 November 2015. The data was
collected by measuring Body Mass Index (BMI) and filing out selfadministered
questioners.
Result: From the 250 subjects, the study group (125 subjects), 72
subjects have obesity (57.6%) and 97 subjects have multiple parities
(77.6%) with 58 subjects diagnosed with cervical cancer (46.4%). In
the control group (125 subjects), 71 subjects have normal weight
(56.8%) and 67 subjects have multiple parities (53.6%) with 64 subjects
diagnosed with ovarium cysts (51.2%). Using multivariate logistic
regression, the overweight and obese subjects have 7 folds
higher risk to develop gynecology cancer compared to those with
normal or underweight subjects. Those with multiple parities and
grande multipara subjects have 3 folds higher risk to develop gynecology
cancer compared with those who are nullipara and primipara.
Conclusion: A significant correlation is found between obesity and
gynecology cancer using multivariate logistic regression analysis
(p=0.000, OR=6.9 (95% CI = 3.62-13.13).
