Indeed, incidence and mortality among Japanese women have increased over the past three decades. Here, we review epidemiological evidence from our cohort and case\u2013control studies among Japanese women in comparison with other published findings. Our studies confirm the important role of established factors derived primarily from Western populations, such as menstrual and reproductive factors, anthropometric factors, physical activity, and alcohol intake, in the development of breast cancer. In addition, we provide further evidence to better understand the role of traditional Japanese foods in the etiology of breast cancer. Our cohort study found that a higher intake of isoflavone and higher levels of plasma genistein, but not daidzein, were associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer. Our case\u2013control studies reveal a dose\u2013response pattern for these compounds; specifically, decreased risk as women move from \u201cno\u201d to \u201cmoderate\u201d intake and leveling off thereafter. In addition, gene\u2013environment interactions have been revealed in the effects of isoflavones. The evidence reviewed suggests that isoflavone has a protective effect against breast cancer in Asian populations. Conversely, our cohort study did not observe an inverse association between breast cancer risk and the intake of green tea and\/or the plasma level of tea polyphenols, but we did find an association between increased risk and active and passive smoking. In conclusion, based on current knowledge, primary prevention according to individual lifestyle modification should focus on alcohol intake, weight control, physical activity, and tobacco smoking.
