Background.
The incidence of premenopausal breast cancer is rising throughout South Asia.
Our objective was to determine the role of risk factors associated with Westernization for premenopausal breast cancer in Bangladesh.
Methods.
We conducted a matched case-control study between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2010, at four hospitals in Bangladesh.
Cases were premenopausal women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer.
Controls were premenopausal women with no personal history of breast cancer.
Logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratios (OR) for breast cancer.
Results.
We identified 129 age-matched pairs.
The mean age of breast cancer diagnosis was 37.5 years.
Each year decrease in the age of menarche significantly increased the risk of breast cancer (OR = 1.67, 95% CI 1.09–2.56, P = 0.02 ).
The risk was also increased with a current body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 (OR = 5.24, 95% CI 1.10–24.9, P = 0.04 ).
Age at first childbirth, parity, and breastfeeding were not significantly associated with premenopausal breast cancer risk ( P > 0.05 ).
Conclusions.
Age at menarche and adult weight gain were associated with premenopausal breast cancer risk.
Other factors associated with Westernization may not be relevant to premenopausal breast cancer risk in Bangladesh.
