Height and weight in relation to breast cancer morbidity and mortality. A prospective study of 570,000 women in Norway
Abstract
The height and weight of 570,000 Norwegian women, aged 30‐69 years, were measured and the subjects were then followed up for 6‐18 years with regard to breast cancer morbidity and mortality. They were arranged in 5‐year age‐groups. In all age‐groups the tallest women were found to have the highest risk for both morbidity and mortality. Overweight was a risk factor for breast cancer mortality in all age‐groups, but it was a risk factor only in the post‐menopausal age‐groups in the case of morbidity. It appeared to protect against breast cancer in the pre‐menopausal age‐group. Stages I and II—IV follow‐up endpoints show negative and positive associations, respectively, with overweight. It is not likely that this can be fully explained by earlier detection of cancer among slim women.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
