  • 摘要:
    目的 基于健康体检人群通过前瞻性队列研究,探讨不同肥胖代谢表型与女性乳腺癌发病风险的关联。
    方法 采用前瞻性队列研究设计,以2015年1月至2024年12月每年在海口市第四人民医院健康(体检)管理中心进行团队体检的在职及离退休女性作为研究对象11 564人,构建动态随访队列,每年随访其乳腺癌发病结局,随访截至2025年1月。对研究对象进行问卷调查、身体测量、中医体质判定和实验室检查收集基线资料。根据代谢状态和体质量指数(body mass index,BMI)水平将研究对象分为代谢健康体质量正常(metabolically healthy normal weight,MHNW)、代谢异常体质量正常(metabolically unhealthy normal weight,MUNW)、代谢健康肥胖(metabolically healthy obesity,MHO)、代谢异常肥胖(metabolically unhealthy obesity,MUO)4个表型组,采用多重对应分析探索中医体质类型与不同肥胖代谢表型的关联程度,应用多因素Cox比例风险回归模型分析探讨不同肥胖代谢表型对女性乳腺癌发病的影响。
    结果 11 564例研究对象累积随访109 703.08人年,中位随访时间9.50年,新发乳腺癌病例175例,总体发病密度为159.52/10万人年。MHNW组、MUNW组、MHO组和MUO组发病密度分别为125.47/10万人年、222.42/10万人年、175.65/10万人年和242.95/10万人年,差异有统计学意义(χ2=12.222, P=0.007);4个表型组累积发病率分别为1.19%、2.10%、1.68%、2.27%,经Log-rank检验,组间差异有统计学意义(χ2=12.298, P=0.006)。多重对应分析显示:MHNW与平和质、痰湿质存在关联,MUNW与气郁质存在关联,MHO与阳虚质、湿热质、特禀质存在关联,MUO与气虚质、血瘀质存在关联。中医体质与乳腺癌关联的Logistic回归分析显示:气虚质、阳虚质、湿热质、气郁质相对于平和质女性发生乳腺癌的风险更高(OR=1.208、1.263、1.155、1.565,P<0.05)。不同肥胖代谢表型与乳腺癌发病风险的多因素Cox比例风险回归模型分析显示,校正中医体质和其他混杂因素影响后,与MHNW组相比,MUNW组、MHO组和MUO组乳腺癌的发病风险均增高(aRR2=1.779、1.330、2.577, P<0.05),且表现为MUO组发病风险最高、MUNW组次之、MHO组较低。
    结论 代谢异常肥胖乳腺癌风险最高,代谢异常正常体质量风险次之且高于代谢健康肥胖;而中医体质进一步放大该风险,且特定体质与代谢表型存在特异性关联。

     

    Abstract: Objective: This prospective cohort study was conducted in a healthy population to investigate the association between different obesity metabolic phenotypes and the risk of breast cancer in females. Methods: A prospective cohort study design was employed, enrolling female employees and retirees who participated in annual team physical examinations at Haikou Fourth People's Hospital from January 2015 to December 2024 (n = 11,564). A dynamic follow-up queue was constructed, and breast cancer incidence outcomes were monitored annually until January 2025. Baseline data on study participants were collected using questionnaire surveys, body measurements, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution assessments, and laboratory tests. Participants were assigned into four phenotype groups based on their metabolic status and body mass index (BMI) levels: metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW), metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW), metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO). Multiple correspondence analysis was used to explore the correlation between TCM constitution types and metabolic obesity phenotypes. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to assess the impact of different metabolic obesity phenotypes on the incidence of breast cancer in females. Results: The cumulative follow-up of 11,564 subjects was 109,703.08 person-years, with a median follow-up time of 9.50 years. A total of 175 new cases of breast cancer were identified, corresponding to an overall incidence of 159.52/105 person-years. The incidence densities in the MHNW, MUNW, MHO, and MUO groups were 125.47/105, 222.42/105, 175.65/105, and 242.95/105 person-years, respectively, with statistically significant differences (χ2 = 12.222, P = 0.007). The cumulative incidence rates for the four phenotypic groups were 1.19%, 2.10%, 1.68%, and 2.27%. The Log-rank test revealed a statistically significant difference between the groups (χ2 = 12.298, P = 0.006). According to the multiple correspondence analysis, MHNW was associated with peaceful and phlegm dampness constitution; MUNW was associated with qi-stagnation constitution; MHO was associated with Yang-deficiency, damp-heat, and characteristic constitutions; and MUO was associated with qi-deficiency and blood-stasis constitutions. Logistic regression analysis of the relationship between TCM constitutions and breast cancer revealed that female participants with qi-deficiency, yang-deficiency, damp-heat, and qi-stagnation constitutions had a higher risk of breast cancer than those with a peaceful constitution (odds ratio = 1.208, 1.263, 1.155, and 1.565, respectively; P < 0.05). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis of different metabolic obesity phenotypes and breast cancer risk showed that, after adjusting for the influence of TCM constitutions and other confounding factors, the incidence risk of breast cancer was higher in the MUNW, MHO, and MUO groups compared with the MHNW group (aRR2 = 1.779, 1.330, and 2.577, respectively; P < 0.05). The MUO group had the highest risk, followed by the MUNW group, with the MHO group having the lowest risk. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the risk of breast cancer is the highest in individuals with metabolically abnormal obesity, followed by those with metabolically abnormal normal weight, and is greater than that in individuals with MHO. TCM constitution further amplifies this risk, with specific constitutions closely associated with metabolic phenotypes.
