The effect of obesity on breast cancer risk depends on a woman’s menopausal status. Before menopause, obese women have a lower risk of developing breast cancer than do women of a healthy weight (4, 9, 10, 11, 12). However, after menopause, obese women have 1.5 times the risk of women of a healthy weight (9, 10, 13, 14).
