“…Concerning anthropometry, it is accepted that higher values of body mass index (BMI) are associated with a reduced risk of BC in premenopausal women and with an increased risk in postmenopausal ones (Lahmann et al, 2004;WCRF, 2007). Absence of association in premenopausal women has been also described for certain anthropometric measures in some populations such as Chinese (Shu et al, 2001;Chow et al, 2005), Japanese (Hirose et al, 2001), or African American women (Hall et al, 2000), different from what has been consistently described in the Western and Caucasian societies. Recently, waist-to-hip ratio was also associated with an increase of risk in premenopausal Nigerian (Okobia et al, 2006) and Asian American women (Wu et al, 2007).…”

In order to thoroughly analyze risk factors of breast cancer (BC) in premenopausal Uruguayan women, a case-control study was carried out at the Pereira Rossell Women's Hospital, Montevideo, where 253 incident BC cases and 497 frequency-matched healthy controls were interviewed on menstrual and reproductive story, were administered a short food frequency questionnaire and undertook a series of body measurements necessary to calculate body composition and somatotype. Odds ratio (OR) coefficients were taken as estimates of relative risk derived from unconditional logistic regression. Among the classical risk factors, only the family history of BC in first degree relatives was significantly associated with risk of premenopausal BC (OR=2.20, 95% CI 1.33-3.62). Interestingly, this risk factor was found to be stronger in women of ages >40 (OR=4.05, 95% CI 2.10-7.81), late menarche (OR= 2.39, 95% CI 1.18-4.

“…After reviewing the full text of these studies in detail, a total of 39 articles, involving 100,452 participants from 14 provinces, municipalities and regions, were included in the final review (Appendix 1). Among these included studies, we identified 6 cohort studies (Li et al, 2005;Shannon et al, 2005;Wang et al, 2006;Dai et al, 2010;Pronk et al, 2011;Shrubsole et al, 2011;) and 33 case-control studies (Lu et al, 1992;Xu et al, 1997;Zhao et al, 1999;Tao et al, 2002;Zou et al, 2002;Zhang et al, 2003;Chow et al, 2005;Lee et al, 2005;Chou et al, 2006;Huang et al, 2006;Li et al, 2006;Jin, 2007;Ma, 2007;Zhang et al, 2007;Kallianpur et al, 2008;Ren, 2008;Wang et al, 2008;Shrubsole et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2009;Qian et al, 2010;Shi et al, 2010;Bao et al, 2011;Dai et al, 2011;Leu et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2011;Hou et al, 2012;Xu et al, 2012;Yu et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2013). According to the NOS items, 11 studies were evaluated as high quality, 25 studies as modest quality, and 3 studies as low quality, respectively.…”

“…The role of body size, defined by body mass index (BMI), waist circumference(WC) and waist-to-hip ratio(WHR), as modifiable risk factors for breast cancer, were considered in several studies in Asian and Western countries [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Despite several mechanisms that may explain the role of obesity and abdominal obesity on breast cancer risk that related to hormonal factors and the effect of fatty cytokine in inflammatory process [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], the association between BMI and waist circumference, as biomarkers for general adiposity and central obesity, respectively, with breast cancer risk is controversial with respect to menopausal status.…”

Body mass index and waist circumference are predictor biomarkers of breast cancer risk in Iranian women

Both obesity and breast cancer incidence increased dramatically during two recent decades in a rapidly changing society in northern Iran. In this study, we examined the ability of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) as predictor biomarkers of breast cancer risk in Iranian women. In a case-control study of 100 new cases of histological confirmed breast cancer and 200 age-matched controls, in Babol, we measured weight, height, waist and hip circumference at time of diagnosis with standard methods. The data of demographic, characteristics, reproductive and lifestyle factors were collected by interview. We used both regression and receiver operator characteristics (ROC) analysis to estimate the predictive ability of BMI and WC for breast cancer as estimated by area under the curve (AUC). The results showed a significant difference in the mean of weight, BMI and WC between patients and controls in pre- and postmenopausal women (P<0.001). While after adjusting for BMI, no longer an association between WC and breast cancer was found. The overall accuracy of observed BMI and WC were 0.79 (95% CI: 0.74-0.84) and 0.68 (95% CI: 0.61-0.74), respectively. The accuracy of BMI and WC were 0.82 (95% CI: 0.76-0.89), 0.75(0.67-0.83) for premenopausal and 0.77(0.68-0.85), 0.60 (0.50-0.71) for postmenopausal women, respectively. BMI and WC are predictor biomarkers of breast cancer risk in both pre- and postmenopausal Iranian women while after adjusting for BMI, no longer an association between WC and breast cancer was observed. These findings imply to perform breast cancer screening program in women with a higher BMI and WC.
