While pitfalls in the manipulation and interpretation of energy intake data in epidemiologic studies have been emphasized, these considerations also highlight the usefulness of obtaining a measurement of total caloric intake, which is not accomplished with nutrient density measures of dietary intake.
The Lancet OncologyEpidemiology of breast cancer
1,244 Citations2001Timothy J. Key, Pia K. Verkasalo +1 more
Both oral contraceptives and hormonal therapy for menopause cause a small increase in breast-cancer risk, which appears to diminish once use stops, and alcohol increases risk, whereas physical activity is probably protective.

In conclusion, smoking has little or no independent effect on the risk of developing breast cancer; the effect of alcohol on breast cancer needs to be interpreted in the context of its beneficial effects, in moderation, on cardiovascular disease and its harmful effects on cirrhosis.
American Journal of EpidemiologyPooled Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies on Height, Weight, and Breast Cancer Risk
1,023 Citations2000Piet A. van den Brandt
The authors found little evidence for interaction with other breast cancer risk factors, and data indicate that height is an independent risk factor for postmenopausal breast cancer; in premenopausal women, this relation is less clear.

294 Citations2001T I Lund Nilsen, Lars J. Vatten
The positive association between diabetes, blood glucose, and colorectal cancer in women, at least in part, support the hypothesis that insulin may act as a tumour promoter in coloreCTal carcinogenesis, and the inverse association with leisure-time physical activity in men is found to be negative.
JAMAProspective Study of Relative Weight, Height, and Risk of Breast Cancer

JAMACaloric Restriction and Incidence of Breast Cancer
185 Citations2004Karin B. Michels
Severe caloric restriction in humans may confer protection from invasive breast cancer, and low caloric intake prior to first birth followed by a subsequent pregnancy appears to be associated with an even more pronounced reduction in risk.
CancerAnthropometry and breast cancer. Body size-a moving target
