An accurate assessment of individual\u2019s breast cancer risk is very important for prevention of the disease and for the health care providers to make decision on taking chemoprevention for high-risk women in clinical practice in Qatar. Aim: To assess the breast cancer risk among Arab women population in Qatar using the Gail model and provide a global comparison of risk assessment. Subjects and Methods: In this cross-sectional study of 1488 women (aged 35 years and older), we used the Gail Risk Assessment Tool to assess the risk of developing breast cancer. Sociodemographic features such as age, lifestyle habits, body mass index, breast-feeding duration, consanguinity among parents, and family history of breast cancer were considered as possible risks. Results: The mean age of the study population was 47.8 \u00b1 10.8 years. Qatari women and Arab women constituted 64.7% and 35.3% of the study population, respectively. The mean 5-year and lifetime breast cancer risks were 1.12 \u00b1 0.52 and 10.57 \u00b1 3.1, respectively. Consanguineous marriage among parents was seen in 30.6% of participants. We found a relationship between the 5-year and lifetime risks of breast cancer and variables such as age, age at menarche, gravidity, parity, body mass index, family history of cancer, menopause age, occupation, and level of education. The linear regression analysis identified the predictors for breast cancer in women such as age, age at menarche, age of first birth, family history and age of menopausal were considered the strong predictors and significant contributing risk factors for breast cancer after adjusting for ethnicity, parity and other variables. Conclusion: The current study is the first to evaluate the performance of the Gail model for Arab women population in the Gulf Cooperation Council. Gail model is an appropriate breast cancer risk assessment tool for female population in Qatar.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2150131917696941","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,18]],"date-time":"2017-03-18T08:48:36Z","timestamp":1489826916000},"page":"180-187","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Assessing Breast Cancer Risk Estimates Based on the Gail Model and Its Predictors in Qatari Women"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Abdulbari","family":"Bener","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cerrahpa\u015fa Faculty of Medicine Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey"},{"name":"University of Manchester, Manchester, UK"},{"name":"Istanbul Medipol University, International School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Funda","family":"\u00c7atan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cerrahpa\u015fa Faculty of Medicine Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey"},{"name":"University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanadi R.","family":"El Ayoubi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Al Amal Hospital, Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar"},{"name":"Hospital Saint Louis, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmet","family":"Acar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cerrahpa\u015fa Faculty of Medicine Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wanis H.","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hamad General Hospital, Weill-Cornell Medical College, Qatar"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2150131917696941","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
