Effect of obesity and other lifestyle factors on mortality in women with breast cancer.

摘要: A few lifestyle characteristics before cancer diagnosis have been suggested to modify the prognosis of breast cancer. Follow-up information from 1,453 women with incident invasive cancer, diagnosed between 1991 and 1994 interviewed within framework an Italian multicenter case-control study, was used assess effect obesity a large spectrum other factors on mortality. Five hundred three deaths, including 398 were identified. Hazard ratios (HR) for all-cause mortality corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI), calculated using Cox proportional hazards models adjusted age (stage receptor status). Increased risk death emerged body mass index (BMI) >/= 30 kg/m(2) (HR = 1.38; CI: 1.02-1.86), compared /= 0.85 1.27; 0.98-1.64), /=30 high WHR (>/=0.85), BMI /=55 years age, whereas it stronger in I-II stage than III-IV Low vegetable fruit consumption current or past smoking also associated marginally worse survival. No significant relationship survival after several major factors, physical activity, alcohol drinking, exogenous hormones use fat intake. High factor that most consistently modified our study.
