“…This study also contributed data on exposure of cohorts to exogenous hormones, as in oral contraceptives and hormonal replacement therapy (Ewertz, 1988(Ewertz, ,1992. Dietary data, including alcohol consumption, were obtained from national statistics on production, import, export and taxation, and from individuals who participated in the dietary surveys of farmers' organizations in Denmark between 1927and 1977(Helms, 1979. The dietary variables addressed in this study were average energy intake and percentage contributions of fat, protein and carbohydrate to energy intake.…”

The extent to which changes in prevalence of risk determinants for female breast cancer could explain the temporal variation in incidence was examined using incidence figures from Denmark for the years 1943-1989. Significant increases in incidence were observed for more recent time periods and birth cohorts. Using deviance statistics from Poisson regression measures of variability explained, only a small proportion of the increase in incidence could be accounted for by fertility rates, average age at menarche and exposure to exogenous hormones. Dietary factors, on the other hand, accounted for the greater proportion of the variation observed by time period or birth cohort. In particular, there was a strong positive association of incidence with alcohol consumption and a negative association with carbohydrate intake.
