The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between body mass index(BMI) at diagnosis and various factors including the epidemiologic and clinical factors on survival of female breast cancers. We analysed the data of 653 patients in any stage from the Wuxi Breast Cancer Cohort. Cox Proportional Hazard regression models were conducted to compare the overall survival(OS) outcomes among BMI groups, and adjusted by covariates which yielded a >10% change in the hazard ratios(HRs) estimate, including age, stage, menopause status, physical activity in work. There were significant differences among BMI groups in age(P=0.000), WHR(P =0.000), physical activity in work(P =0.019),red meat intake(P =0.029), oil intake(P =0.000),tumor stage(P =0.021),menopause status(P =0.001). Overweight(OW,BMI=24 to 27.9kg/m2) and obesity(OB, BMI≥28kg/m2) showed better OS comparing with normal weight(NW, BMI=18.5 to 23.9kg/m2)(respectively, adjusted HRs=0.45, 95%CI=0.15 to 1.34, adjusted HRs=0.59,95%CI=0.21 to 1.69), meanwhile underweight(UW, BMI Citation Format: Yunqiu Dong, Franzel J.
