Abstract Background It has been suggested that the association between body mass index and breast cancer risk differs between Asian women and Western women. We aimed to assess the associations between body mass index and breast cancer incidence in East Asian women. Methods Pooled analyses were performed using individual participant data of 319,189 women from 13 cohort studies in Japan, Korea, and China. Participants’ height and weight were obtained by measurement or self-reports at cohort baseline. Breast cancer was defined as code C50.0-C50.9 according to the International Classification. Using a Cox proportional hazards model, hazard ratios of breast cancer were estimated for each body mass index category, with the reference group set as the group with a body mass index of 21 to |
