We provide an overview of the role of adiposity, physical activity and diet in the risk for breast cancer in Mexican women. Lack of physical activity, diets high in carbohydrates and in glycemic load and low intake of folate and vitamin B12 have been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer in Mexican women, in particular postmenopausal breast cancer. Other dietary factors that may begin to play a more relevant role in breast cancer incidence in Mexico are alcohol intake and vitamin D status. Recommendations to maintain a healthy weight, practice moderate physical activity, decrease intake of rapidly absorbed carbohydrates and increase consumption of fruits and vegetables could have an important impact on the epidemic of breast cancer in Mexico.
我们提供了一个肥胖、体力活动和饮食在墨西哥女性乳腺癌风险中作用的概述。缺乏体力活动、高碳水化合物和高血糖负荷饮食以及叶酸和维生素 B12 摄入不足，已被证明会增加墨西哥女性，特别是绝经后乳腺癌的风险。其他可能开始在墨西哥乳腺癌发病率中发挥更重要作用的饮食因素是酒精摄入和维生素 D 状况。建议保持健康体重、适度进行体力活动、减少快速吸收碳水化合物的摄入并增加水果和蔬菜的消费，这可能对墨西哥乳腺癌的流行产生重要影响。
