      abstract     = {Higher adiposity increases the risk of colorectal cancer
                      (CRC), but whether this relationship varies by anatomical
                      sub-site or by sex is unclear. Further, the metabolic
                      alterations mediating the effects of adiposity on CRC are
                      not fully understood.We examined sex- and site-specific
                      associations of adiposity with CRC risk and whether
                      adiposity-associated metabolites explain the associations of
                      adiposity with CRC. Genetic variants from genome-wide
                      association studies of body mass index (BMI) and
                      waist-to-hip ratio (WHR, unadjusted for BMI; N = 806,810),
                      and 123 metabolites from targeted nuclear magnetic resonance
                      metabolomics (N = 24,925), were used as instruments.
                      Sex-combined and sex-specific Mendelian randomization (MR)
                      was conducted for BMI and WHR with CRC risk (58,221 cases
                      and 67,694 controls in the Genetics and Epidemiology of
                      Colorectal Cancer Consortium, Colorectal Cancer
                      Transdisciplinary Study, and Colon Cancer Family Registry).
                      Sex-combined MR was conducted for BMI and WHR with
                      metabolites, for metabolites with CRC, and for BMI and WHR
                      with CRC adjusted for metabolite classes in multivariable
                      models.In sex-specific MR analyses, higher BMI (per 4.2
                      kg/m2) was associated with 1.23 $(95\%$ confidence interval
                      (CI) = 1.08, 1.38) times higher CRC odds among men
                      (inverse-variance-weighted (IVW) model); among women, higher
                      BMI (per 5.2 kg/m2) was associated with 1.09 $(95\%$ CI =
                      0.97, 1.22) times higher CRC odds. WHR (per 0.07 higher) was
                      more strongly associated with CRC risk among women (IVW OR =
                      1.25, $95\%$ CI = 1.08, 1.43) than men (IVW OR = 1.05,
                      $95\%$ CI = 0.81, 1.36). BMI or WHR was associated with
                      104/123 metabolites at false discovery rate-corrected P ≤
                      0.05; several metabolites were associated with CRC, but not
                      in directions that were consistent with the mediation of
                      positive adiposity-CRC relations. In multivariable MR
                      analyses, associations of BMI and WHR with CRC were not
                      attenuated following adjustment for representative
                      metabolite classes, e.g., the univariable IVW OR for BMI
                      with CRC was 1.12 $(95\%$ CI = 1.00, 1.26), and this became
                      1.11 $(95\%$ CI = 0.99, 1.26) when adjusting for cholesterol
                      in low-density lipoprotein particles.Our results suggest
                      that higher BMI more greatly raises CRC risk among men,
                      whereas higher WHR more greatly raises CRC risk among women.
                      Adiposity was associated with numerous metabolic
                      alterations, but none of these explained associations
                      between adiposity and CRC. More detailed metabolomic
                      measures are likely needed to clarify the mechanistic
                      pathways.},
