Lifestyle factors significantly affect the prognosis of breast cancer, according to a new Italian study. Published in the International Journal of Cancer, the study reveals that obesity can be one of the most significant lifestyle risk factors for prognosis of breast cancer.
Researchers followed more than 1,450 women with incident invasive breast cancer, evaluating the effect of obesity and other risk factors on breast cancer mortality. Findings reveal that obese women with body mass index (BMI) equal to or higher than 30 kg/m2 were 38% more likely to die from all causes than those who had a BMI equal to or less than 25 kg/m2. Women who had both high BMI and high waist-to-hip ratio were facing an even greater risk. Additionally, researchers note that women who ate less fruits and vegetables had higher mortality risks.

Be an inspiration – Join the World GO VEGAN Days celebration! World GO VEGAN Days is an international effort to promote a more compassionate way of eating and living. Launched and coordinated by In Defense of Animals and co-sposored by FARM's Meatout Mondays, this annual observance is the perfect time to educate others about veganism and why it’s a healthy choice for people, animals, and the environment.
Through outreach events and media, World GO VEGAN Days helps make the word "vegan" a household term. Modern animal agriculture is cruel and violent toward the chickens, cows, pigs and other animals used to produce meat, milk and eggs. Help us make a difference participating in this campaign!
Here are some easy ways you can celebrate World GO VEGAN Days:
- Order Vegan Starter Kits for distribution in your community.
- Display information in public areas (posters and display prints can be downloaded).
- Share delicious vegan meals from our new 7 Days of Meatout Mondays page.
- Give colorful handouts to family and friends.
- Wear T-shirts with messages, pins, and other fun stuff; share them with others.
