Weight loss connected to lower breast cancer risk for postmenopausal women

In a study of postmenopausal women, individuals who slimmed down had a lower threat of developing intrusive breast cancer than those who kept or acquired weight. Released early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the findings recommend that weight-loss may help lower postmenopausal females’s breast cancer risk. Although weight problems has been strongly related to breast cancer risk, research studies taking a look at whether weight loss might reduce postmenopausal women’s danger have provided blended outcomes. To examine the concern, Rowan Chlebowski, MD, PhD, of the City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, California, and his associates analyzed details on 61,335 women taking part in the World Health Initiative Observational Study who had no prior breast cancer and had regular mammogram outcomes. The females’s body weight, height, and body mass index were evaluated at the start of the study and again 3 years later.

Throughout a typical follow-up of 11.4 years, there were 3,061 new cases of invasive breast cancer detected. Women with weight loss? 5 percent had a 12 percent lower breast cancer threat compared to stable weight females, with no interaction by body mass index. Weight gain of? 5 percent was not connected with threat of breast cancer total but was related to a 54 percent greater incidence of triple negative breast cancer.

“Our research study suggests that moderate, reasonably short-term weight reduction was associated with a statistically substantial reduction in breast cancer threat for postmenopausal females,” said Dr. Chlebowski. “These are observational outcomes, but they are also supported by randomized clinical trial evidence from the Women’s Health Effort Dietary Modification trial where, in a randomized medical trial setting, embracing a low-fat dietary pattern that was related to a similar magnitude of weight reduction led to a substantial improvement in breast cancer total survival. These findings, taken together, supply strong correlative evidence that a modest weight reduction program can impact breast cancer.”
