Studies of WHR and the risk of breast cancer are limited by systematic bias in the measurement of WHR across studies [ 36 ] , which may have been controlled somewhat in this study by using nurse interviewers and adhering to the World Health Organization MONICA guidelines [ 10 ] . In case-control studies like the present one, selection and recall bias can be problematic.
These measurements were recorded to the nearest 0.5 cm, and the averages of two measures (different by no more than 1 cm) were used to calculate the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR).
The WHR has emerged as an important metameter of the association between central adiposity and many obesity-related diseases.
The body mass index (BMI) (weight [kg]/height [m 2]; obesity = BMI ≥ 30) and WHR were computed (waist circumference [cm]/hip circumference [cm]), and four subjects with WHR > 1.2 and WHR < 0.6 were excluded.
In multivariable logistic regression analysis, adjusted for age and height, there was a significant association between the highest tertile of WHR and breast cancer risk (LRT P = 0.10; Table 6).
