Abstract
Purpose: Breast cancer affects females from puberty onward, with incidence rates increasing with age. Although metabolic syndrome (MetS) has reportedly increased the incidence of almost all cancers, no clear consensus on the role of MetS in breast cancer development exists. We aimed to clarify the effects of MetS on breast cancer incidence.
Methods: To investigate this relationship, we analyzed Japanese healthcare data of females from 2005 to 2020 and examined the incidence of breast cancer. MetS was evaluated based on the Japanese criteria or the NCEP ATP III guidelines at enrollment. Of 1,144,791 participants without missing data in our general public cohort, 32,775 with breast cancer at the beginning of the observation period were excluded; 54,330 participants with breast cancer were identified during the observation period.
Results: Both pre-stage MetS and MetS, defined using the Japanese criteria, were associated with the less frequent incidence of breast cancer (hazard ratios [HRs], 0.90; 95% CI, 0.86-0.94; p < 0.005: HR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.80-0.87; p < 0.005). Furthermore, MetS using NCEP ATP III was associated with the lower HR (0.87: CI, 0.84-0.90; p < 0.005), and the number of the factors from 1 to 5 was gradually associated with the lower HRs. Analysis according to age group revealed that this observation was the most prominent in the < 50-year-old group.
Conclusion: MetS is associated with the less frequent breast cancer incidence in females, especially aged < 50 years.
