Distinct Effects of Body Mass Index and Waist/Hip Ratio on Risk of Breast Cancer by Joint Estrogen and Progestogen Receptor Status: Results from a Case-Control Study in Northern and Eastern China and Implications for Chemoprevention

Abstract: Obesity is a consideration in the pharmacologic intervention for estrogen receptor‐positive breast cancer risk. This case‐control study among women in Northern and Eastern China was conducted to clarify the possible associations between both general and central obesity and breast cancer risk.

“…Traditional views thought diabetes especially type 2 diabetes was associated with increased risk of breast cancer, because of higher body mass index (BMI). Our previous research showed that diabetes is an independent factor for risk of breast cancer rather than BMI . Nevertheless, there were few breast patients with diabetes 1 that might be accounted for shorter life span of patients or its lower BMI.…”

“…Obese women with larger amounts of subcutaneous fat, as measured by BMI, may have a significantly higher risk of developing hormone receptorpositive breast cancer. In contrast, larger amounts of visceral fat, indicated by a high waist-to-hip ratio, may be associated with a greater risk of developing hormone receptor-negative breast cancer, independent of BMI [17].…”

“…Case-control studies suggest that a woman's body fat distribution may influence the hormone receptor status of the breast cancer she is susceptible to [17]. Both general and central obesity have been associated with greater breast cancer risk [11].…”

“…Breast cancer patients were recruited from 22 hospitals in 11 provinces or municipalities in northern and eastern China from April 2012 to April 2013, as described previously (17,18). Han Chinese women newly diagnosed with primary breast cancer con rmed by histology and aged from 25 to 70 years were included in this study.…”
