This study showed that increased subcutaneous and visceral adiposity were associated with infective complications in male, but not female patients, after colorectal cancer surgery. Therefore, it is important that sex be taken into account when evaluating the potential impact of body composition on post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer.
