ABSTRACT Objective This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to identify common life‐course body mass index (BMI) trajectories (childhood/adulthood to adulthood) and their impact on risk of cancer overall and cancer at different sites in adulthood. Methods Observational studies were identified that assessed the association of BMI trajectories with
