Energy intakes relative to basal metabolic rate (BMR) or 25 kcal/kg/day as recommended for energy intakes for patients with cancer [26] in pre- and post-menopausal women. (a,b) Roles of energy intakes relative to BMR in risk of breast cancer (odds ratio (OR)) in pre- and post-menopausal women. (c,d) Roles of energy intake relative to 25 kcal/kg/day in risk of breast cancer (OR) in pre- and post-menopausal women. ¹ Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to examine the associations between the ratio of total energy intake (TEI)/BMR or TEI/recommended energy intake and BC risks. Confounders included age, BMI, education year, family history of breast cancer, smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity, age at menarche, triglyceride, HDL-C, and energy intake among pre- and post-menopausal women.
