Increased body mass index (BMI) is considered a risk factor for breast cancer. Moreover, it is associated with an unfavorable prognosis of the disease. Overweight and obesity are a global public health problem.
We aimed to describe the risk factor of high BMI in breast cancer patients through an observational study of patients diagnosed with mammary neoplasm.
The study was performed on a sample of 172 women with breast cancer with a mean age of 58.8 (±SD) years and a control sample of 217 women without breast cancer with a mean age of 54 (±SD) years. Data collection was performed by questionnaires and by anthropometric measurements, during 2017-2021. Statistical analysis used numerical descriptive methods: mean, standard deviation, etc. and graphical methods.
The sample of women with breast cancer compared to the control sample showed differences in BMI (26.27 . 24.45 kg/m), p=0.001.
Obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer. This risk factor for breast cancer could be altered by the quality of the diet and by the adoption of an active lifestyle.
体重指数（BMI）升高被认为是乳腺癌的一个风险因素。此外，它与该疾病的不良预后相关。超重和肥胖是一个全球性的公共卫生问题。
我们旨在通过对被诊断为乳腺肿瘤的患者进行观察性研究，描述乳腺癌患者高BMI的风险因素。
该研究以172名乳腺癌女性为样本，平均年龄为58.8（±标准差）岁，以217名无乳腺癌女性为对照样本，平均年龄为54（±标准差）岁。在2017年至2021年期间，通过问卷调查和人体测量进行数据收集。统计分析采用数值描述方法：均值、标准差等以及图形方法。
与对照样本相比，乳腺癌女性样本的BMI存在差异（26.27. 24.45千克/平方米），p = 0.001。
肥胖是乳腺癌的一个风险因素。乳腺癌的这一风险因素可通过饮食质量和采取积极的生活方式来改变。
