We examined the associations between reproductive factors and the risk of breast cancer on the basis of information from a total of 201,363 breast cancer screening program participants in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, during 1987-1991. A case-control study method was applied on analysis. Data on 204 breast cancer cases identified and 810 screening year-, age- and screening area-matched normal controls were extracted. After adjustment for potential confounders, a trend of decreasing risk of breast cancer with increasing number of parity was observed (p for trend = 0.03) Among parous women, lactation for the last child decreased the risk of breast cancer (odds ratio (OR) = 0.61, 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) 0.39-0.94). These findings were consistent with those in clinical breast cancer reported previously. When cases were divided into two age groups, younger (less than or equal to 49 y.o.) and older (50 y.o. less than or equal to), family history of breast cancer among mother and sisters (OR = 3.51, 95% CI 1.05-11.80), and lactation for the last child (OR = 0.46, 95% CI 0.25-0.84) were associated with younger age breast cancer, whereas number of parity was associated with older age breast cancer (p for trend = 0.03). The results by age group suggest that different mechanisms may exist in breast cancer developing at early and late onsets.
