For equol producers with prostate cancer (PCa), family history of PCa, family history of breast cancer and weight gain≧10kg from 20 years old were significantly associated with elevated risk of PCa. Contrastly, for equol non-producer with PCa, family history of PCa was significantly associated with increased risk of PCa, but family history of breast cancer as well as weight gain≧10kg from 20 years old were not associated with risk of PCa. Accordingly, it has been suggested that a risk factor for PCa may be different between equol producer and equol non-producers.
