The impact of alcohol consumption and physical activity on breast cancer: The role of breast cancer risk.

ABSTRACT: High alcohol consumption and physical inactivity are known breast cancer risk factors. However, whether the association between these lifestyle factors and breast cancer is modified by a woman's additional breast cancer risk factors has never been studied. Therefore, a population-based prospective cohort study of 57,654 Swedish women aged 40-74 years, including 957 breast cancer cases, was performed. Alcohol consumption and physical activity were measured with validated web-based self-report questionnaires. The Tyrer-Cuzick risk prediction model was used to determine a woman's 10-year risk of developing breast cancer. Logistic regression models were used to explore whether the effect of alcohol consumption and physical activity on breast cancer was modified by additional breast cancer risk
