Changes in BMI from baseline enrollment to time of completion of follow-up (mean interval, 7.8 years) were calculated for 1,451 ALL survivors (mean age, 32.3 years at follow-up) and 2,167 siblings of childhood cancer survivors (mean age, 35.9 years). <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> The mean BMI of the CCSS sibling comparison group increased with age (women, 0.25 units\/yr, 95% CI, 0.22 to 0.28 units; men, 0.23 units\/yr, 95% CI, 0.20 to 0.25 units). Compared with CCSS siblings, ALL survivors who were treated with cranial radiation therapy (CRT) had a significantly greater increase in BMI (women, 0.41 units\/yr, 95% CI, 0.37 to 0.45 units; men, 0.29 units\/yr; 95% CI, 0.26 to 0.32 units). The rate of BMI increase was not significantly increased for ALL survivors who were treated with chemotherapy alone. Younger age at CRT exposure significantly modified risk. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> CRT used in the treatment of childhood ALL is associated with a greater rate of increasing BMI, particularly among women treated with CRT during the first decade of life. Health care professionals should be aware of this risk and interventions to reduce or manage weight gain are essential in this high-risk population. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1200\/jco.2008.16.3527","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,9,29]],"date-time":"2008-09-29T22:23:56Z","timestamp":1222727036000},"page":"4639-4645","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":217,"title":["Longitudinal Changes in Obesity and Body Mass Index Among Adult Survivors of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Report From the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study"],"prefix":"10.1200","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Edward G.","family":"Garmey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Pediatrics and Medicine, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY; Department of Public Health Sciences, School of Public Health, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; Department of Pediatrics, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA; Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Control, St Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN; and Department of Radiation Physics, The University of Texas M.
