Birth weight is associated with postmenopausal breast cancer risk in Swedish women
(2004) In British Journal of Cancer 91(9). p.1666-1668- Abstract
- There is some evidence that birth weight is associated with breast cancer. Whether this association differs between premenopausal and postmenopausal ages is still unclear. The results from this study suggest that higher birth weight is a risk factor for postmenopausal breast cancer (OR 1.06, CI 1.00-1.12, per 100 g), independent of selected early-life and adult factors.
