Weight and Postmeno-
pausal Breast Cancer Risk
Postmenopausai women who
exercise and keep their weight
down substantially reduce their
risk of breast cancer. Data from the
Nurses' Health Study, which began
in 1976 with over 120,000 women
who have been monitored twice
each year, shows that weight loss
after menopause decreases the
risk of.breast cancer. Women who
gained 55 pounds or more after
age 18 were 1.5 times more likely
to get breast cancer compared to
women who did not gain weight
after their late teens. However,
women who lost 22 pounds or
more after menopause had a 57
percent lower risk of breast cancer
than the "weight gainers." Regular
exercise (at least a half hour a day
of exercise, at least five days a
week) and a high-fiber diet with
lots of fruits and vegetables, low-fat
dairy products for calcium, no fried
foods if at all possible, and more
protein from plants and less from
animals, are recommended.
