The association between breast cancer and diet and other factors.
To explore the effects of diet and other factors on breast cancer development, a case-control study was conducted in Tianjin between 1986-87. After adjusting for confounding factors, it was found that factors associated with increased risk of breast cancer included --early age at menarche; late age at menopause; late age at first birth; high Qutelet's index; histories of breast wound, disease and benign tumor; and a family history of malignant tumor, high fat, high calorie, low vegetable intake; elevated serum cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol; and lower levels of serum HDL-cholesterol and whole blood selenium.
