Effects at Two Years of a Low-Fat, High-Carbohydrate Diet on Radiologic Features of the Breast: Results From a Randomized Trial
Effects at Two Years of a Low-Fat, High-Carbohydrate Diet on Radiologic Features of the Breast: Results From a Randomized Trial
Results: After 2 years, the total area of the breast was reduced by an average of 233.7 mm2 (2.4%) (95% confidence interval [CI] = 106.9−360.6) in the intervention group compared with an average increase of 26.3 mm2 (0.3%) (95% CI = −108.0160.5) in the control group (P = .01). The area of density was reduced by 374.4 mm2 (6.1%) (95% CI = 235.1−513.8) in the intervention group compared with an average of 127.7 mm2 (2.1%) (95% CI = 8.6−246.7) in the control group (P = .01). Weight loss was associated with a reduction in breast area. The effect of the intervention on breast area was only marginally statistically significant after weight change, menopausal status, and age at trial entry were taken into account (P = .06). Greater weight loss and becoming postmenopausal were associated with statistically significant reductions in the area of density on the mammographic image at 2 years (P = .04 and P<.001, respectively).
Macronutrient Intake and Change in Mammographic Density at Menopause: Results from a Randomized Trial
Macronutrient Intake and Change in Mammographic Density at Menopause: Results from a Randomized Trial
Reduction in total or saturated fat intake or cholesterol intake was significantly associated with decreased dense area (p ≤ .004). The most significant dietary variable associated with reduction in percentage of density was reduction in dietary cholesterol intake (P = 0.001), although reducing saturated fat intake was of borderline significance (P = 0.05).
