Thesis
Breast cancer shows increase in presentation rates globally. In Colombia, the incidence for 2018 is 44.1 per 100,000 women (ASR), being the second cancer with the highest number of new cases for that year in the country. More and more premenopausal women suffer from this pathology, which generates great economic and social impact. In order to establish possible associations between lifestyle and disease, case-control study was considered for its advantages over other designs. A study population of 330 patients under 55 premenopausal with mammary pathology, attended between 2013 and 2017, who under the selection criteria formed the two comparison groups was conformed. An initial retrospective analysis of the clinical records was carried out, followed by the implementation of a telephone instrument. The multivariate analysis shows that the variables; Higher educational level and consumption of whole foods (wheat, rice, corn, oats, rye and barley, etc.) are inversely associated with the presence of the disease. (OR = 0.675 95% CI: 0.433.1.053 p = 0.048 and OR = 0.579 95% CI: 0.339.0.991 p = 0.046). While fish consumption shows a positive relationship with it (OR = 2,560 95% CI: 1,200.5,460 p = 0.015). The association between dietary variables and the presence of breast cancer in premenopausal women must be prospective studies that allow a better characterization and analysis of this variable.
