Risk of all-cause or breast-cancer-specific death was evaluated by combining multivariable adjusted estimates comparing highest versus lowest categories of intake; and per 20 g increase in intake of total and/or saturated fat (g/day) using random-effects meta-analyses.\n\nRESULTS:\nFifteen prospective cohort studies investigating total fat and/or saturated fat intake (g/day) and breast cancer mortality were included. There was no difference in risk of breast-cancer-specific death (n = 6; HR = 1.14; 95% CI: 0.86, 1.52; p = 0.34) or all-cause death (n = 4; HR = 1.73; 95% CI: 0.82, 3.66; p = 0.15) for women in the highest versus lowest category of total fat intake. Breast-cancer-specific death (n = 4; HR = 1.51; 95% CI: 1.09, 2.09; p \u003c 0.01) was higher for women in the highest versus lowest category of saturated fat intake.\n\nCONCLUSIONS:\nThese meta-analyses have shown that saturated fat intake negatively impacts upon breast cancer survival." }, "questions": [ { "id": "14baabaa-5099-456b-89cd-0fa69564a906", "text": "What are the risk factors of Breast Cancer?", "answers": [ { "answer_start": 1271, "text": "saturated fat intake" } ] } ] }
