Abstract

Background: Fibrocystic breast is one of the most common diseases of the breast. So far, several surveys have investigated the relationship between breast fibrocystic changes and nutritional pattern. Present study aimed to determine the food pattern in women with breast fibrocystic changes in Isfahan City, Iran. Methods: In present study, 208 cases with benign breast disease were selected from the Molla Sadra health center in Isfahan. Demographic information, type of breast cysts, and nutritional pattern were gathered according to the approved questionnaire of Iranian Ministry of Health. Findings: There was significant relation between height, weight, and body mass index with breast fibrocystic changes (P < 0.050 for all). Moreover, there was significant relation between fast food consumption and aforementioned changes (P < 0.050). There was not significant relation between other groups of foods such as dairy, fruits, and vegetable with breast fibrocystic alterations. Conclusion: Based on our investigation, reducing the consumption of fast foods and increasing physical activities are two of crucial parameters for management of breast fibrocystic changes in women. © 2018, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences(IUMS).
