Abstract

Benign breast diseases (BBDs) are 10 times more common than breast cancer, and fibroadenoma (FA) and fibrocystic disease (FCD) are the most frequent. The association of BBD with physical activity (PA), weight indicators, and diet was investigated. Eligible women were entered in the FA, non-FA, FCD, and non-FCD groups. A PA and a food questionnaire were completed and anthropometric measures were taken and 779 women were studied. There was no significant difference regarding weight indicators and PA between the groups. Contrary to the general assumption, chocolate, tea, and coffee do not increase BBD, while chicken may elevate the risk. Copyright © 2024 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.
