Obesity is associated with increased risks of several cancers including, colon, lower esophagus, kidney, female breast, and endometrium. Some studies have associated pesticides with higher risks of cancer in agricultural populations. The interaction between obesity and pesticide use on cancer risk has not been well studied. Using data from the Agricultural Health Study we examined the association between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of cancer at 17 sites, and the interaction between BMI and pesticide use. Pesticide applicators (primarly farmers), and their spouses residing in Iowa and North Carolina were enrolled between 1993 and 1997 and followed through 2005. This analysis included 39,628 men and 28,319 women who provided information on pesticide use, height and weight data, and were cancer-free at enrollment. Of all subjects, 64% were overweight or obese, and 4,432 incident cancers were diagnosed during the follow-up period. We found positive associations between BMI (continuous) and colon cancer among men (Hazard Ratio (HR) 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02–1.09) and breast cancer among postmenopausal women (HR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01–1.06), as well as an inverse association with lung cancer among men who were ever smokers (HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.88–0.96). Men who ever used carbofuran (HR=1.10, 95% CI 1.04–1.17), metolachlor (HR=1.09, 95% CI 1.04–1.15), and alachlor (HR=1.08, 95% CI 1.03–1.13) had significant positive associations between BMI and colon cancer, but non-users did not. Men who ever smoked and used carbofuran had a positive, although not significant, association between BMI and lung cancer, while users of carbofuran had a significant inverse association. These findings, which suggest that certain pesticides may modify the association between BMI and colon and lung cancer risk, should be further evaluated in other populations.
