Does place of birth influence endogenous hormone levels in Asian-American women?

“…In an effort to explain the international differences in breast cancer incidence rates, a number of investigators have compared hormone levels in healthy Asian and Caucasian women, with most focusing on differences in oestrogen levels (MacMahon et al, 1974;Moore et al, 1983;Trichopoulos et al, 1984;Goldin et al, 1986;Goodman et al, 1988;Bernstein et al, 1990;Shimizu et al, 1990;Key et al, 1990;Probst-Hensch et al, 2000) and a few examining androgens or androgen precursors (Bulbrook et al, 1967;Wang et al, 1976;Hayward et al, 1978). However, these studies could not distinguish the role of genetic differences from the effects of an Asian lifestyle on endogenous hormone levels.…”

“…Other reasons for inconsistencies across studies may relate to specimen collection, with samples ranging from a single urine or blood draw to multiple collections over a 24 h period. Finally, comparisons across studies are complicated by study designs in which women were not representative of the target populations (Bulbrook et al, 1967MacMahon et al, 1974MacMahon et al, , 1980Wang et al, 1976;Hayward et al, 1978;Moore et al, 1983;Trichopoulos et al, 1984;Goldin et al, 1986;Goodman et al, 1988;Shimizu et al, 1990;Key et al, 1990).…”

“…Since the 1970's studies of endogenous hormone levels in healthy Asian and Caucasian women have produced varied results. Most (MacMahon et al, 1974(MacMahon et al, , 1980Moore et al, 1983;Trichopoulos et al, 1984;Goldin et al, 1986;Bernstein et al, 1990;Shimizu et al, 1990;Key et al, 1990), but not all , Hayward et al, 1978Goodman et al, 1988;Porbst-Hensch, 2000) found higher oestrogens in Caucasian women. In the few studies that measured androgens (Bulbrook et al, 1967;Wang et al, 1976;Hayward et al, 1978), levels were higher in Caucasian women.…”
