abstract: Anthropometric Measures (BMI, height, weight gain) and Risk of Ovarian Cancer Among BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers



"....Height, weight, and BMI were not associated with the risk of ovarian cancer (P-trend ≥0.15). Also, there was no association between changes in body weight between ages 18-30, or ages 30-40, or ages 18-40 and the risk of ovarian cancer (P-trend ≥0.28). The results from this study suggest that height, weight, or weight gain do not influence the risk of ovarian cancer among carriers of a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation."
