Abstract: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and prevention strategies are needed to reduce incidence worldwide. A healthy lifestyle index score (HLIS) was generated to investigate the joint effect of modifiable lifestyle factors on postmenopausal breast cancer risk. The study included 242,918 postmenopausal women from the multinational European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort, with detailed information on diet and lifestyle assessed at baseline. The HLIS was constructe… Show more

“…A case-control study conducted in Iran, investigating the association between diet and breast cancer (100 cases and 178 controls), showed that healthy eating habits (regular consumption of fruit and vegetables, fish, vegetable oils and low consumption of saturated fat) was a protective factor for breast cancer [46]. McKenzie et al [47], in a cohort study of 242,918 women followed for a mean time of 10.9 years, recorded 7,756 breast cancer diagnosis, usually in women with a combination of unhealthy behaviors, including dietary habits. Current eating habits, especially in Western populations, are characterized by a low intake of plant foods, fiber and fruit, and high consumption of processed foods rich in fats and sodium.…”

“…C'est pourquoi les recommandations de santé publique utilisent plutôt le terme de « diète méditerranéenne » qui comprend ce que l'on mange, mais aussi comment on le mange, ainsi que l'activité physique. Dans leurs derniers travaux, les épidémiologistes de l'étude EPIC ont créé un index de mode de vie sain où l'alimentation méditerranéenne (sans la consommation d'alcool) est associée à l'activité physique en valeur positive, le tabagisme en valeur négative et la consommation d'alcool en valeur modérée pour le cancer de l'estomac [39], auxquels s'ajoutent les mesures anthropométriques (IMC et tour de taille) en valeurs modérées (évaluées pour le cancer colorectal [40], et le cancer du sein [41]). Nombre d'entre nous pressentaient l'importance de telles préconisations, leur démonstration semble acquise, il reste à les appliquer.…”

“…The factors that play a significant role in the aetiology of breast cancer include genetic [8,9], hormonal [10,11], environmental [12], lifestyle [13] and reproductive factors [14]. In addition, ovarian hormones (endogenous estrogen) are the key risk factors for the development of breast cancer and their progression among post-menopausal women [15,16].…”
