Objective: To examine the association between the Framingham Steatosis Index (FSI) and prevalent breast cancer in women using NHANES data. Approach: Study Desig
The study analyzed the association between the Framingham Steatosis Index (FSI) and prevalent breast cancer in women using NHANES data from 1999 to 2018.
Among 21,042 women, 2.5% reported a history of breast cancer, with each 1-unit increase in FSI linked to higher odds of prevalent breast cancer.
The association between FSI and breast cancer was attenuated after adjusting for age, indicating age's significant role in this relationship.
Higher FSI quartiles correlated with increased odds of prevalent breast cancer, but the continuous association varied in an exploratory hospital dataset.
FSI should be viewed as a composite marker of metabolic-hepatic burden rather than a direct diagnostic measure of hepatic steatosis.
