Overweight, obesity and height as risk factors for meningioma, glioma, pituitary adenoma and nerve sheath tumor: a large population-based prospective cohort study

Abstract

This study does not confirm overweight or obesity as risk factors for meningioma. Additionally, overweight and obesity can be quite confidently excluded as risk factors for glioma. However, this study indicates that body fatness increases the risk for PA, while it reduces the risk for NST.
