Risk of breast cancer is higher in upper 40-year women than in under 40-year women, in non-childbirth women than in childbirth women, in women who have the first children at 25 years old or more than in those who have the first children at lower than 25 years old. Breastfeeding women have lower risk of breast cancer than non-breastfeeding those. The women with history of chloroorganic insecticide exposure have higher risk of breast cancer than those without this history.
