Changes in cardiovascular disease risk and risk factors among women with and without breast cancer
Cancer Oct 11, 2018
Anderson C, et al. - Given that cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is an important health concern among survivors of breast cancer, researchers compared trajectories of CVD risk and major risk factors among women with a breast cancer diagnosis vs those without. They examined changes in weight, body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, and 10-year CVD risk between women with (n=813) and without (n=1,049) an incident breast cancer diagnosis enrolled in the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Sister Study cohort. At the time of enrollment, all analyses were stratified by menopausal status. Findings demonstrated similar changes in CVD risk, adiposity measures, and blood pressure, as observed over time, between women who developed an incident breast cancer and those who did not.
