"....Neither height, weight, BMI, body fat percentage, waist- or hip circumference were associated with overall risk, nor with risk for different subtypes, differentiation grade or stage.
Conclusions: These results demonstrate that a high WHR (waist hip ratio) is associated with a decreased risk of EOC. Other anthropometric factors were not associated with EOC risk."
