美国科研人员在新近出版的《国立癌症研究所杂志》上撰文称,妇女肥胖,尤其是腹部肥胖,更容易罹患雌激素受体阴性乳腺癌。研究人员分别测试了116 000名妇女的身高、体重,以及腰围和臀围,并进行了跟踪研究。结果发现,腹部肥胖的受试者最容易发生乳腺癌,其最高发年龄段为绝经后期,次高发年龄段为绝经前 American researchers in the newly published “National Cancer Institute” magazine wrote that women’s obesity, especially abdominal obesity, is more likely to suffer from estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer. The researchers tested the height and weight of 116,000 women, waist circumference and hip circumference, and conducted follow-up studies. The results found that subjects with abdominal obesity are most likely to develop breast cancer. The highest age group is postmenopause, and the second highest age group is premenopausal.
