Plasma levels of leptin and mammographic density among postmenopausal women: a cross-sectional study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A novel line of research suggests that eating at nighttime may have several metabolic consequences that are highly relevant to breast cancer. We investigated the association between nighttime eating habits after 10 p.m. and breast cancer in Hong Kong women. METHODS:A hospital-based case-control study was co...
