Abstract | UNLABELLED: MATERIAL AND METHOD: RESULTS:
HDL-cholesterol proved significantly higher in group 2 compared to group 3 (control group), by the third and the fourth quartile; the same when it came to overweight/obese post-menopausal women. Nevertheless, more lipid disorders clustered in group 1 obese/ overweight postmenopausal women. CONCLUSIONS: High HDL in breast dysplasia women is reported in international studies too. High menopause prevalence in group 3, implying abdominal obesity and lipid disorders may explain the small difference between group 1 ( breast cancer patients) and group 3 (control group). High clustering in group 1 pleads for increased breast cancer risk in metabolic syndrome postmenopausal women. Comparing HDL values and the clustering phenomenon in group 1 to the other two groups considered as a control population (as done in international published studies), we can conclude that low HDL-- abdominal obesity association increases breast cancer risk after the menopausal age.
