A reply to the study we mentioned two days ago:
“Of cup and bra size: Reply to a prospective study of breast size and premenopausal breast cancer incidence,” Anita Ringberg, Erika Bageman, Carsten Rose, Christian Ingva and Helena Jernstrom, International Journal of Cancer, vol. 119, 2006, pp. 2242–2243. The authors explain:
“we found that the use of cup size alone without taking rib cage circumference into account is a poor surrogate for actual breast volumes, even when BMI is taken into consideration. We would like to know whether the results of Kusano et al. remain significant, and whether they are still limited to lean women, when the rib cage circumference is taken into consideration.”
