Leisure-time physical activity is associated with reduced risks of breast cancer and triple negative breast cancer in Nigerian women

Leisure-time physical activity(LTPA) is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer, but this has less been investigated by cancer subtypes in Africans living in Sub-Saharan Africa(SSA). We examined the associations between LTPA and breast cancer including its subtypes in Nigerian women and expl...

Zusammenfassung:Leisure-time physical activity(LTPA) is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer, but this has less been investigated by cancer subtypes in Africans living in Sub-Saharan Africa(SSA). We examined the associations between LTPA and breast cancer including its subtypes in Nigerian women and explored the effect modification of body size on such associations. The sample included 508 newly diagnosed primary invasive breast cancer cases and 892 controls from the Nigerian Integrative Epidemiology of Breast Cancer(NIBBLE) Study. Immunohistochemical(IHC) analysis was available for 294 cases. Total metabolic equivalents(METs) per hour/week of LTPA were calculated and divided by quartiles(Q1
