American Journal of Epidemiology, 07/17/09
Moorman PG et al. – Many risk factors showed similar relations across racial/ethnic groups, but tubal ligation and family history of breast or ovarian cancer showed stronger associations among African Americans. Younger age at menarche was associated with risk only in white women. Attributable fractions associated with tubal ligation, oral contraceptive use, and obesity were markedly higher for African Americans. The relative importance of ovarian cancer risk factors may differ for African–American women, but conclusions were limited by the small sample. There is a clear need for further research on etiologic factors for ovarian cancer in African–American women.
