Height and Breast Cancer Risk: Evidence From Prospective Studies and Mendelian Randomization

20 Aug 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have linked adult height with breast cancer risk in women. However, the magnitude of the association, particularly by subtypes of breast cancer, has not been established. Furthermore, the mechanisms of the association remain unclear. METHODS: We performed a meta-analysis to investigate associations between height and breast cancer risk using data from 159 prospective cohorts...
