摘要

Objective

This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the dose-response relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in cancer patients.

Methods

We conducted a dose-response meta-analysis of 10 studies involving 6,841 cancer patients. Studies reporting BMI and CIPN outcomes were selected. The relationship between BMI and CIPN was assessed using random-effects models and restricted cubic splines to model the dose-response association.

Results

Pooled analysis revealed a significant association between higher BMI and increased risk of CIPN, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.55 (95% CI, 1.20–1.99). A dose-response analysis demonstrated a clear linear relationship between BMI and the risk of CIPN. For every 5 kg/m2 increase in BMI, the relative risk of CIPN increased by approximately 15%. Subgroup analyses showed stronger associations in breast cancer patients and those treated with taxane or platinum-based regimens. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the results, and mild publication bias was observed.

Conclusions

Higher BMI is significantly associated with an increased risk of CIPN, with a dose-dependent effect. Weight management interventions, such as dietary modifications and physical activity, may reduce CIPN risk, particularly in patients with elevated BMI undergoing chemotherapy with neurotoxic regimens.
