Included were 1559 Kaiser Permanente Northern California members ages 18 to 79 years who had PAM50 assays and were diagnosed with American Joint Committee on Cancer stage I through III breast cancer from 1996 to 2013. Patients reported weight and height. Cox regression models were adjusted for age, menopause, race\/ethnicity, stage, and chemotherapy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Over a median of 9 years (maximum, 19 years), 378 women developed recurrent disease, and 312 died from breast cancer. Overall, BMI was not associated with breast cancer recurrence or survival when controlling for subtype (eg, the hazard ratio per 5\u2009kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> of BMI was 1.05 [95% confidence interval, 0.95\u20101.15] for breast cancer\u2010specific death). However, associations varied by subtype. Among women with luminal A cancers, those who had class II\/III obesity, but not class I obesity or overweight, had worse outcomes. When women who had a BMI \u226535\u2009kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> were compared with those who had a BMI from 18.5 to &lt;25\u2009kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, the hazard ratio was 2.24 (95% confidence interval,1.22\u20104.11) for breast cancer\u2010specific death and 1.24 (95% confidence interval, 1.00\u20101.54) for recurrence.
