For analysis the findings, chi-square and logistic regression was used.Results
In the study of case and control groups separately menopausal status, in pre-menopausal population, overweight women (BMI=24/91-29/9kg/m2) had lower odds ratio of developing breast cancer (OR=0/23 CI=0/84-0/06). In postmenopausal population with waist-to-hip ratio (0/80-0/84), WHR was significantly associated with breast cancer risk (OR=0/09 CI=0/60-0/02).Conclusion
In this study, premenopausal overweight women had lower odds ratio of developing breast cancer. High WHR was associated with breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women.Keywords:
