      Survey I Epidemiologic Follow-up Study.

AB  - The relationship between dietary fat intake and breast cancer incidence was 
      examined in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey I (NHANES I) 
      Epidemiologic Follow-up Study cohort. This cohort is derived from adults (greater 
      than or equal to 25 yr) examined in the NHANES I (1970-75) cross-sectional survey 
      of the U.S. population and provides a mean follow-up time of 10 years. An 
      analytic sample of 5,485 women, including 99 breast cancer cases (34 
      premenopausal and 65 postmenopausal at NHANES I baseline), was examined for 
      associations with dietary intake of fat, percent energy from fat, total energy, 
      saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat, and cholesterol on the 
      basis of a 24-hour recall administered at the baseline NHANES I examination. No 
      significant differences in dietary fat intake between cases and noncases were 
      evident when mean intakes for each group were compared. For total fat (g) and 
      saturated fat (g), a significant inverse association was indicated in 
      proportional hazards analyses. Adjustment of fat for total energy intake resulted 
      in a smaller effect that was no longer statistically significant. Adjustment for 
      accepted breast cancer risk factors did not change these findings. This 
      prospective study of a sample from the U.S. population does not support the 
      hypothesis that high dietary fat intake increases breast cancer risk. Indeed, 
      some lower risk associated with high fat intake may be indicated, although this 
      result may be influenced by methodologic problems with the dietary assessment.
