The present results show that abnormal body composition is prevalent across TNM I-IV colon cancer and associated with TNM stage and SIG. Body composition is independently associated with emergency presentation and long-term survival. Further research is required to analyse whether interventions including structured exercise programmes or attenuation of the SIR have an effect on CT-derived body composition and oncological outcomes.
