Resumo
This review aimed to investigate risk and pro-
tective factors for breast cancer and to analyze
whether scientific evidence from the World Cancer
Research Fund and American Institute for Cancer
Research, published in 2007, was confirmed by
new research. In May 2010 we reviewed cohort and
case-control analytical studies from 2007 to 2010
in the PubMed, LILACS, and SciELO databases.
We selected 27 articles (14 case-control and 13 co-
hort studies). Breastfeeding and physical activity
were protective factors against breast cancer, and
alcohol consumption was a risk factor. A direct
proportional relationship was observed between
larger waist circumference, weight throughout
adulthood, and height and risk of breast cancer
in postmenopausal women. The association be-
tween body fat and breast cancer is contradic-
tory in both premenopausal and postmenopausal
women. According to the accumulated evidence,
breastfeeding and healthy lifestyle are the factors
most strongly associated with breast cancer pre-
vention.
