| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST D6R0xVc6. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background : In epidemiological studies abundant physical activity has been related to decreased breast cancer risk, though the results have been inconsistent. The purpose of this paper was to study the association of physical activity at leisure and commuting to work and incidence of breast cancer. Methods : The study cohort consisted of 30,548 female participants of the Finnish adult health behaviour survey, based on annual random samples of Finns aged 15-64, collected in 1978-1993. By the end of 1995,332 breast cancer cases had been diagnosed in the cohort. Relative risks of breast cancer were adjusted for age at survey, body mass index (BMI), education, length of follow-up, parity and age at first birth using Poisson regression models. Results : Compared to women exercising less than once a week, the adjusted relative risk of breast cancer for women exercising once a week was 0.80 (95% confidence interval (CI) : 0.58-1.10), for women exercising 2-3 times per week 0.92 (95% CI : 0.78-1.22) and for women exercising daily 1.01 (95% CI : 0.72-1.42). Women who reported commuting, walking or bicycling to work 30 min or more daily had slightly lower adjusted risk of breast cancer (RR : 0.87,95% CI : 0.62-1.24) than women working at home, being unemployed or driving a car to working place.
