The association between anthropometric indices and the risk of breast
cancer was analyzed using pooled data from seven prospective cohort
studies. Together, these cohorts comprise 337,819 women and 4,385 incident
invasive breast cancer cases. In multivariate analyses controlling for
reproductive, dietary, and other risk factors, the pooled relative risk
(RR) of breast cancer per height increment of 5 cm was 1.02 (95% confidence
interval (CI): 0.96, 1.10) in premenopausal women and 1.07 (95% CI: 1.03,
1.12) in postmenopausal women. Body mass index (BMI) showed significant
inverse and positive associations with breast cancer among pre- and
postmenopausal women, respectively; these associations were nonlinear.
Compared with premenopausal women with a BMI of less than 21 kg/m2, women
with a BMI exceeding 31 kg/m2 had an RR of 0.54 (95% CI: 0.34, 0.85). In
postmenopausal women, the RRs did not increase further when BMI exceeded 28
kg/m2; the RR for these women was 1.26 (95% CI: 1.09, 1.46). The authors
found little evidence for interaction with other breast cancer risk
factors. Their data indicate that height is an independent risk factor for
postmenopausal breast cancer; in premenopausal women, this relation is less
clear. The association between BMI and breast cancer varies by menopausal
status. Weight control may reduce the risk among postmenopausal women.
