ABSTRACT:

Background: Breast cancer is a major public health problem, and knowing the role of lifestyle variables in its risk is critical for developing prevention efforts. The purpose of this study is to offer a complete review of the impact of nutrition, physical activity, and environmental exposures on breast cancer risk, addressing current knowledge gaps.

Aim: The major goal of this study is to evaluate the relationship between lifestyle variables and breast cancer risk, taking into account the complex nature of individual behaviors and environmental effects. We want to uncover specific risk factors for breast cancer by investigating food, physical exercise, and environmental exposures.

Methods: This study used a comprehensive and multimodal research technique, which included epidemiological surveys, nutritional evaluations, physical activity monitoring, and environmental exposure studies. A varied group of individuals was recruited, and extensive data on lifestyle characteristics were gathered by surveys, interviews, and objective measures. Statistical techniques, including multivariate modelling, were used to detect relationships and quantify the effect of several lifestyle factors on breast cancer risk.

Results: Preliminary findings reveal intricate relationships between lifestyle factors and breast cancer risk. The analysis indicates that specific dietary patterns, levels of physical activity, and exposure to environmental factors may significantly influence the likelihood of developing breast cancer. Furthermore, subgroup analyses will be conducted to explore potential variations in risk across different demographic and genetic profiles.

Conclusion: This study adds to our understanding of the complicated interactions between lifestyle variables and breast cancer risk. The findings have implications for public health programs, emphasizing the value of personalized approaches to breast cancer prevention. By identifying modifiable risk factors, healthcare providers may customize recommendations to individuals, encouraging proactive efforts to lower the overall burden of breast cancer.
