Associations of early-adulthood adiposity with breast parenchymal tissue complexity within premenopausal women
Our preliminary data suggest that adiposity in early adulthood, as well as weight gain during early adulthood, may have a lifelong impact on breast parenchymal tissue patterns within premenopausal women. The inverse associations with breast parenchymal complexity may indicate a protective effect of of early-adulthood adiposity on breast cancer risk.
