Body size, physical activity and Hodgkin lymphoma

Body size, physical activity and Hodgkin lymphoma

This will be the first study to look in detail at how childhood and adult body size (height, weight, body mass index) and physical activity throughout adulthood affect a woman's chances of developing Hodgkin lymphoma. To examine this issue, we will conduct statistical analysis of interview data obtained in a previous study of Hodgkin lymphoma in women.
