Shortage of folate was not associated with the risk of breast cancer in thewhole women, whilst in women after menopause increased the cancer. Breast cancer in comparisonto other cancers has the lowest association with malnutrition. Low physical activity is one of factorsof risk of breast cancer in early ages; and high body mass index upon diagnosis and its 5-yearchanges is assumed as one of breast cancer risk factors within ages below 40. After menopausalages, for every hour of average physical activity increment per week, the risk of being infected withbreast cancer is reduced for 9%. Therefore, whereas lifestyle is adjustable potentially, awareness ofthe impact of these factors on the risk of catching breast cancer has a considerable importance inprevention of this fatal disease.
