To elucidate whether body fat distribution correlates with the grade of endometrial cancer, we studied 74 postmenopausal women with endometrial cancer (mean age 62.4 +/- 6.6 years, range 49-78 years). The subjects were divided into three groups as follows: well-differentiated adenocarcinoma (G1 group; N = 53), moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma (G2 group; N = 11), and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (G3 group; N = 10). Four body fat indices [total fat weight (g), body fat ratio (%), trunk fat weight (g), and weight ratio of trunk fat to leg fat (trunk/leg ratio)] were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Baseline characteristics and body fat indices in the three groups were compared. In all subjects, the correlations of these variables with the grade of adenocarcinoma were investigated using single and stepwise regression analyses. Total fat weight, body fat ratio, and trunk fat weight showed slight increases with the grade of differentiation. The trunk/leg ratio in G1 group was significantly higher than in G2 and G3 groups. The trunk/leg ratio was significantly correlated with the grade in stepwise regression analysis. Body fat distribution in women with endometrial cancer may correlate with the grade of the adenocarcinoma.
