This has been suggested to reflect lifestyle factors (for example, age at first birth), other confounding factors (for example, age at menarche), or occupational factors such as exposure to cosmic radiation and circadian rhythm alterations due to repeated jet lag.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Aims:<\/jats:bold>To assess the contribution of occupational versus lifestyle and other factors to breast cancer risk among cabin attendants in Finland.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>A standardised self-administered questionnaire on demographic, occupational, and lifestyle factors was given to 1041 cabin attendants. A total of 27 breast cancer cases and 517 non-cases completed the questionnaire. Breast cancer diagnoses were confirmed through the Finnish Cancer Registry. Exposure to cosmic radiation was estimated based on self-reported flight history and timetables. A conditional logistic regression model was used for analysis.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>In the univariate analysis, family history of breast cancer (OR\u200a=\u200a2.67, 95% CI: 1.00 to 7.08) was the strongest determinant of breast cancer. Of occupational exposures, sleep rhythm disruptions (OR\u200a=\u200a1.72, 95% CI: 0.70 to 4.27) were positively related and disruption of menstrual cycles (OR\u200a=\u200a0.71, 95% CI: 0.26 to 1.96) negatively related to breast cancer. However, both associations were statistically non-significant. Cumulative radiation dose (OR\u200a=\u200a0.99, 95% CI: 0.83 to 1.19) showed no effect on breast cancer.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>Results suggest that breast cancer risk among Finnish cabin attendants is related to well established risk factors of breast cancer, such as family history of breast cancer. There was no clear evidence that the three occupational factors studied affected breast cancer risk among Finnish flight attendants.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2004.014738","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,16]],"date-time":"2005-06-16T18:38:18Z","timestamp":1118947098000},"page":"488-493","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Breast cancer risk among Finnish cabin attendants: a nested case-control study"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"K","family":"Kojo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Pukkala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Auvinen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024052222440673000_62.7.488.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"75","DOI":"10.1007\/s004110050097","volume":"37","year":"1998","journal-title":"Radiation Environ Biophys"},{"key":"2024052222440673000_62.7.488.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.311.7006.649"},{"key":"2024052222440673000_62.7.488.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.312.7025.253"},{"key":"2024052222440673000_62.7.488.4","first-page":"1902","volume":"316","year":"1998","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"2024052222440673000_62.7.488.5","first-page":"126","volume":"318","year":"1999","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"2024052222440673000_62.7.488.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1008983416836"},{"key":"2024052222440673000_62.7.488.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/30.4.825"},{"key":"2024052222440673000_62.7.488.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1015284014563"},{"key":"2024052222440673000_62.7.488.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.60.11.807"},{"key":"2024052222440673000_62.7.488.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/02841869409098430"},{"key":"2024052222440673000_62.7.488.11","first-page":"9","volume":"99","year":"1999","journal-title":"The Fed Air Surg Med Bull"},{"key":"2024052222440673000_62.7.488.12","unstructured":"Committee on the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation (BEIR V), National Research Council.
