Abstract
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.
Objective: We aimed to describe the risk factor of high BMI in breast cancer patients through an observational study of patients diagnosed with mammary neoplasm.
Patients and methods: 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.
Results: The sample of women with breast cancer compared to the control sample showed differences in BMI (26.27 vs. 24.45 kg/m2), p=0.001.
Conclusion: 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）的增加被认为是乳腺癌的一个危险因素。此外，它与疾病的不良预后有关。超重和肥胖是一个全球性的公共卫生问题。目的：通过对乳腺肿瘤患者的观察性研究，探讨乳腺癌患者高BMI的危险因素。患者和方法：研究对象为172名平均年龄为58.8（±SD）岁的乳腺癌女性，对照组为217名平均年龄为54（±SD）岁的非乳腺癌女性。在2017-2021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性方法：均值、标准差等和图形化方法。结果：乳腺癌妇女样本与对照组相比，BMI有差异（26.27 vs. 24.45 kg/m2）， p=0.001。结论：肥胖是乳腺癌的危险因素之一。这种乳腺癌的风险因素可以通过饮食质量和积极的生活方式来改变。
