Metabolic syndrome is an independent correlate of breast nodules: a retrospective case-control study

Key Points

Breast nodules are significantly associated with metabolic syndrome, indicated by an odds ratio of 3.453.
Height also contributes to the risk with an odds ratio of 1.060 per cm increase, emphasizing physical dimensions.
Multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify important correlations, focusing on multiple health factors.
These findings highlight the potential of metabolic health interventions in addressing breast nodules, pending further research.

Abstract

Multivariate regression analysis identified MetS odds ratio (OR) =3.453; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.569-7.601 and height (OR =1.060 per 1 cm increase, 95% CI: 1.018-1.103) as independent relevant factors. These findings suggest that metabolic health interventions may play an important role in breast nodules.
