Abstract

Background and Objectives: BREAST CANCER is the most common carcinoma in women and even though medically managed, it affects many lives today. Although the cause of BREAST CANCER is unknown ,but identification of RISK FACTORS is important so that preventive measures can be taken for significant reduction in incidence rate. This study was done to determine the relationship of selected demographics, LIFESTYLE and STRESSful factors leading to BREAST CANCER in women.Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study 107 women who were attending various hospitals of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences for treatment, and 216 healthy women accompanying as visitors of patients, matched by age,level of education and area (rural/urban), were chosen as control group by convenience sampling.A questionnaire which contained some variables about demographics, LIFESTYLE and STRESSful factors was developed by the researchers and data were collected by interview and measuring some anthropometric factors. In order to determine the relationship between variables and BREAST CANCER, appropriate statistical tests including Chi-Square and Analysis Variance were used.Results: The results in relation to some DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES showed that there is significant relationship between level of education, economic condition, first degree family history of BREAST CANCER, history of benign breast disease, age of menarche and rate of WHR (waist to hip ratio) and BREAST CANCER (p<0.001), but no association was observed between the number of pregnancies, rate of upper body weight, height and BMI (Body Mass Index) and BREAST CANCER (p>0.05). There were significant associations between sporting activity, intake of dairy products, vegetables and fruits and level of information about preventive measures and reduction in the risk of BREAST CANCER (p<0.01). Most of cases (42.2%) had more STRESSful events before diagnosis in contrast with control group (10.7 %) and significant difference was observed between two groups (p<0.001).Conclusion: The present study, similar to other relevant research literatures showed that some variables such as intakes of dairy products, vegetables and fruits, leisure activity, level of education, information about the primary preventive measures can be considered as protective factors for BREAST CANCER, but variables such as low economic condition, low education level, family history of BREAST CANCER, history of benign breast diseases, and usage of oral contraceptives, rate of upper body weight (WHR) should be taken as RISK FACTORS for BREAST CANCER. The results suggest for more steps to be taken to compensate for serious lack of available public information about RISK FACTORS of BREAST CANCER and aim at educational programs at community level.
