Abstract

AIM: The present investigation was attempted to find out the possible life style risk factors for breast cancer among the breast cancer cases, using a case-control study in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Methods: A total number of 512 breast cancer cases, from various hospitals of Chennai and 540 control women of same age group in same geographical area, were investigated using standard questionnaire that evaluated the various lifestyle risk factors for breast cancer such as BMI, physical exercise, psychological stress, abortion, lifestyle health problems and parity. Results: Karl Pearson's chi-square test was performed to determine the overall association between the lifestyle risk factors and breast cancer. The results revealed that all the lifestyle risk factors investigated were found to be highly significantly associated with breast cancer when compared with control women in Chennai. Conclusion: The lifestyle changes such as overall maintenance of BMI, increasing physical exercise, decreasing psychological stress using yoga, avoiding abortion, increasing parity and eating healthy traditional foods may reduce the risk of breast cancer

生活方式是乳腺癌的危险因素:印度泰米尔纳德邦金奈的病例对照研究

目的:本研究旨在通过印度泰米尔纳德邦金奈市的病例对照研究，找出乳腺癌患者中可能的生活方式危险因素。方法:采用标准问卷对金奈各医院的512例乳腺癌病例和540例同一地理区域的同年龄组对照妇女进行调查，评估乳腺癌的各种生活方式危险因素，如BMI、体育锻炼、心理压力、流产、生活方式健康问题和产次。结果:通过卡尔·皮尔逊卡方检验确定生活方式风险因素与乳腺癌之间的总体关联。结果显示，与金奈的对照组妇女相比，所有被调查的生活方式风险因素都与乳腺癌有高度显著的关联。结论:生活方式的改变，如总体保持身体质量指数，增加体育锻炼，通过瑜伽减少心理压力，避免堕胎，增加生育和食用健康的传统食品等，可能会降低乳腺癌的风险
