Fat intake and its relationship with pre- and post-menopausal breast cancer risk: a case-control study in Malaysia.

Abstract

Total fat and fat subtypes were not associated with pre- and postmenopausal breast cancer risk after controlling for age, other breast cancer risk factors and energy intake. Despite the lack of association, the effects of total fat and fat subtypes intake during premenopausal years towards postmenopausal breast cancer risk still warrant investigation.
