Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • We examine the association between BMI, TSC and lung cancer risk in Lithuanian men. • There was an inverse dose-dependent association between BMI and lung cancer risk. • Elevated BMI was associated with a lower lung cancer risk in current smokers. • TSC level was not statistically significantly related to a lung cancer incidence.
