Distribuição da gordura corporal e câncer de mama: um estudo de caso-controle no Sul do Brasil

Abstract: O presente estudo tem como objetivo verificar a associação entre a distribuição da gordura corporal e o câncer de mama em mulheres do Rio Grande do Sul. Para este estudo, utilizou-se um delineamento de caso-controle, no qual foram avaliadas cem mulheres com diagnóstico histopatológico de câncer de mama em comparação com o grupo controle ambulatorial (400 mulheres) durante os meses de janeiro a outubro de 2005. As variáveis antropométricas coletadas foram: massa corporal (kg), estatura, circunferência da cintur… Show more

“…In addition, it is recognized that the distribution of body fat, especially abdominal fat, has more influence on metabolic risk factors than total body fat [33]. In the present study we found an association between waist circumference and breast cancer, which is similar to other studies conducted in Brazil [34][35][36] or in other countries [37,38]. Harvie et al [39] suggest that central obesity may be associated with a risk of breast cancer in premenopausal women, and other studies show association between abdominal obesity and risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women [40,41].…”

“…The relationship between body fat and breast cancer has been observed for some years, in particular the increased abdominal or visceral fat (central adiposity), which is related to a higher likelihood of relapse and shorter survival, particularly in post -menopause, where the risk is higher 10,23 .…”

“…In Brazil and other countries with large racial variation, anthropometric information related to body fat in women 9 , especially those with breast cancer 7,10 , have limitations that may be related to available resources, including technology and more precise equipment, or even to reasons of racial differences per se 11 .…”

“…Relação similar é explicitada também no IMC, visto que em estudo equivalente observou-se que 54,54% dos pacientes com câncer de mama se encontravam em níveis superiores ao peso ideal, sendo 18,18% com quadro de obesidade 8 . A ocorrência de mais da metade da amostra estudada apresentar níveis mais elevados de IMC sugere a ligação do sedentarismo não apenas com fatores diretamente ligados à ocorrên-cia de câncer de mama, mas também à má qualidade de sono 9 . Isso é evidenciado pelo fato de os praticantes de atividade física da amostra estarem mais presentes no G1, apesar da fraca correlação da funcionalidade com a qualidade de sono (r= -0,3956) e do maior uso de medicamentos para dormir pelo G2.…”
