During recent decades, breast cancer incidence has been increasing in Japan. According to the latest reports from several registries Japan, become leading site female incidence. To analyze trend of detail, we summarized Miyagi Prefecture, Japan during 1959-1997, and evaluated period cohort effect on using age-period-cohort model. Age-specific age-standardized rates have increased over successive calendar periods. Around 1980, an accelerated increase these took place. A full model including...

The role of adult weight change in breast cancer (BC) risk is unclear Japanese women. A total 10 106 postmenopausal women aged 40–64 years (the Miyagi Cohort) were followed from 1990 to 2003, and 108 BC cases identified. Hazard ratios (HRs) estimated according body mass index (BMI) at the current age 20 years, since years. Higher BMI was associated with an increased (P for trend=0.02), whereas higher inversely this trend=0.002). There a significant association between trend=0.0086). Compared...

Body mass index (BMI) may be an important factor affecting breast cancer outcome. Studies conducted mainly in Western countries have reported a relationship between higher BMI and risk of all-cause death or cancer-specific among women with cancer, but only few studies been Japan so far. In the present prospective study, we investigated associations patients overall by menopausal status hormone receptor status. The study included 653 admitted to single hospital Japan, 1997 2005. was assessed...
