Abstract:

• Breast cancer is a multifactorial disease; several socioeconomic, food factors and lifestyle are incriminated in its development. It is the first cancer of women in the world and in Algeria, in terms of incidence and mortality. In Batna, the standardized incidence has doubled, from 13.6 in 2001 to 25.3 in 2011. OBJECTIVE The main objective is to study the dietary risk factors associated with the occurrence of breast cancer in women in the region of Batna. METHODS A case-control study with 1-1 matching by age and address was conducted from January 1st, 2013 to December 31rd, 2014. The total sample consisted of 160 women. RESULTS Eating fast-food every day increases the risk of breast cancer by 7 times as well as fat from red meat. Consumption of sausage and poultry skin by 5 times. Cooking vegetables in sauce increases the risk by 5 times (p <0.0001), Taking olive oil each day reduces the risk of 25% with a p <0.02, the consumption of milk mixed or not with coffee reduces the risk of one third and the fact of nibbling rarely reduced it with OR = 0,117 (0,023- 0.59) p = 0.009. DISCUSSION The associations between dietary risk factors and breast cancer are discordant in the various studies carried out in the world, our results are in line with studies but require further research
