Page 10 October 2 014 By Dr. Stacy Gustin October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Check out some risk factors of which you might not be aware: Taller women have an increased risk of breast cancer. Data from seven studies found that women over 5 feet 3 inches have a slightly higher risk of breast cancer than women under that height. This may be related to the growth spurt that tall women can have in their youth. Higher levels of hormones or other growth factors may cause growth spurts. Although the chances of lowering your risk for breast cancer are modest, eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables may lower the risk of heart disease, stroke and other chronic diseases. Women who regularly exercise may have a lower risk of breast cancer than inactive women. Regular exercise appears to lower the chances of breast cancer by about 10 to 20 percent. The benefit is seen most clearly in postmenopausal women. Walking 30 minutes a day may lower your risk by about 3 percent. Premenopausal women who are overweight or obese have a 20 to 40 percent lower risk of breast cancer than those who are lean. Although being overweight or obese may lower the risk of breast cancer before menopause, weight gain should be avoided. Most instances of breast cancer occur after menopause, but you may carry any weight you gain before menopause into your postmenopausal years. Postmenopausal women who are overweight or obese have a 30 to 60 percent higher risk of breast cancer than those who are lean. Body shape may affect your chances of having breast cancer. Although findings are mixed, some show that women with extra weight around their middles (apple- shaped), versus their hips and thighs (pear-shaped), have a small to moderate increased risk of breast cancer. Many studies show that drinking alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer. For each alcoholic drink consumed per day, the relative risk of breast cancer increased by about 7 percent. Women who had two to three alcoholic drinks per day had a 20 percent higher risk of breast cancer.
