| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS JmjqPR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Physical inactivity and high mammographic breast density have both been associated with increased breast cancer risk. However, the association between physical activity and mammographic breast density remains inconsistent. In the European Prospective Investigation of Cancer (EPIC) - Norfolk population-based cohort study (United Kingdom), the authors investigated the cross-sectional association between physical activity level at baseline during 1993-1997 and breast density among 1,394 postmenopausal, cancer-free women. Usual physical activity was assessed by a brief, validated questionnaire. Percentage breast density was determined visually from mammograms by three trained radiologists using the Boyd six-category scale. The association between physical activity level and breast density risk category was examined. No statistically significant association between physical activity and percentage breast density was observed in the unadjusted or adjusted regression models. A suggested increase in breast density for the most active women in the unadjusted regression analysis (odds ratio=1.13,95% confidence interval : 0.71,1.80) was reversed after inclusion of body mass index and reproductive and lifestyle variables (odds ratio=0.78,95% confidence interval : 0.45,1.34). The lack of an association between physical activity and percentage breast density suggests that an association between physical activity and breast cancer risk is unlikely to be mediated through an effect on mammographic breast density. |
