Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy and breast cancer are both high among women living in Karachi, Pakistan. METHODS: A matched case control study was conducted in two hospitals of Karachi, Pakistan to evaluate the association of vitamin D (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D) concentrations, vitamin D supplementation and sun exposure with breast cancer among Pakistani women. A total of 411 newly diagnosed...
