This case-control study addressed the hypothesis that uninterrupted exposure to light is associated with increased rates of breast cancer. We compared the odds of profound binocular blindness among women with a diagnosis of breast cancer with the odds of profound binocular blindness among women with diagnoses of coronary heart disease or stroke. All hospital discharges in the National Hospital Discharge Survey from 1979 through 1987 were analyzed, after exclusion of women with diabetes. Profoundly blind women were half as likely to have breast cancer as women who were not profoundly blind. This effect diminished substantially with increasing age.
这项病例对照研究探讨了持续暴露于光照与乳腺癌发病率增加相关的假设。我们比较了被诊断患有乳腺癌的女性中双眼深度失明的几率与被诊断患有冠心病或中风的女性中双眼深度失明的几率。在排除患有糖尿病的女性后，对1979年至1987年国家医院出院调查中的所有医院出院病例进行了分析。双眼深度失明的女性患乳腺癌的可能性仅为非双眼深度失明女性的一半。随着年龄增长，这种影响大幅减弱。
