ObjectiveTo perform an evaluation of selected phytochemicals intake and breast cancer (BC) risk in Mexican women.DesignWe conducted hospital-based case–control study.SettingMexico City between 1994 and 1996.SubjectsA total of 141 histologically confirmed BC cases were age-matched (±3 years) to an equal number of hospital controls. The reproductive history of each woman was obtained by direct interview. The dietary consumption of flavonols, flavones, flavan-3-ols, cinnamic acid, lariciresinol, pinoresinol, secoisolariciresinol, matairesinol and coumestrol was obtained by means of a validated FFQ.ResultsAmong postmenopausal women, high dietary intake of flavonols and flavones was associated with a significant reduction of BC risk (high v. low tertile: OR = 0·21, 95 % CI 0·07, 0·60, P for trend = 0·004 and OR = 0·29, 95 % CI 0·10, 0·82, P for trend = 0·025, respectively); consumption of lignans (lariciresinol and pinoresinol) showed a similar effect, but only among premenopausal women (high v. low tertile: OR = 0·32, 95 % CI 0·10, 0·99, P for trend = 0·051 and OR = 0·19, 95 % CI 0·06, 0·62, P for trend = 0·006, respectively).ConclusionsOur results support a protective role of specific dietary phytochemicals in BC risk by menopausal status, independent of other reproductive factors.
