Obesity and the Risk of Breast Tumors in Indonesian Women based on Clinical Breast Examination
Keywords:
Obesity, Breast tumor, , Non-communicable diseaseAbstract
Obesity in women is often associated with breast cancer. Obese women are at greater risk of breast cancer even though many other factors also influence the degree of risk. This analysis aimed to determine the role of obesity and overweight in breast tumor risk among Indonesian women who participated in the 2016 Non-Communicable Diseases Research Project in Indonesia. This research used a cross-sectional survey design, with national urban representation. We selected households by multi-stage sampling. Each selected household was assigned one woman who met the criteria using the Kish table. The number of subjects analyzed were 37,984 people, aged 25-64 years. Breast tumor was examined by clinical breast examination by trained health personnel. Data were analyzed using chi square and logistic regression. After controlling for several sociodemographic and reproductive variables and history of individual and family cancers, abdominal obesity was a breast tumor protection factor (OR = 0.803; 95% CI 0.698-0.922, p = 0.002). Abdominal obesity is a protective factor that plays a role in breast tumors in women aged 25-64 years in Indonesia. Women, especially those who have not entered menopause, are still encouraged to do regular physical activity to maintain an ideal body weight for optimal general health.
