Abstract
Background
Multiple modifiable lifestyle risk factors are independently associated with breast cancer (BC); however, evidence lacks regarding the joint relationship between lifestyle components and BC immunophenotypes.
Aim
We aimed to assess the association among adherence to healthy lifestyle indices and BC immunophenotypes in women.
Methods
We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a study performed between 2007 and 2011, comprising 1045 cases and 1030 population controls. We retrieved information on estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) expression from medical records to classify BC as luminal (ER+ and/or PR+/HER2–), HER2+ (ER+/− and/or PR+/−/HER2+), or triple negative (TN) (ER– and PR–/HER2–). Through direct interviews, we obtained lifestyle variable information such as diet, physical activity, as well as tobacco and alcohol consumption. We evaluated compliance with the Healthy Lifestyle Index Score (HLIS) and the Healthy Behavior Index (HBI). We used non-conditional logistic regression models to assess the association between BC immunophenotypes and the indices.
Results
Women with higher adherence to the HLIS had a 23 % lower probability of BC (Odds ratio [OR]Tertil (T)3vsT1 = 0.77; 95%Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.60, 0.99; p-trend = 0.030), while those adhering to the HBI showed a 68 % reduction (OR T3vsT1 = 0.32; 95%CI: 0.24, 0.42; p-trend = 0.000). These associations remained negative across all BC immunophenotypes.
Conclusion
Adherence to healthy lifestyle indices might prevent BC. Further research is warranted to elucidate the intricate interplay among lifestyle factors and BC risk across diverse populations and immunophenotypes.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is an electronic-only journal and is an official publication of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN). Nutrition and nutritional care have gained wide clinical and scientific interest during the past decades. The increasing knowledge of metabolic disturbances and nutritional assessment in chronic and acute diseases has stimulated rapid advances in design, development and clinical application of nutritional support. The aims of ESPEN are to encourage the rapid diffusion of knowledge and its application in the field of clinical nutrition and metabolism. Published bimonthly, Clinical Nutrition ESPEN focuses on publishing articles on the relationship between nutrition and disease in the setting of basic science and clinical practice. Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is available to all members of ESPEN and to all subscribers of Clinical Nutrition.
