Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. While genetic and environmental factors contribute to risk, lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, alcohol consumption, and obesity have emerged as modifiable determinants that significantly influence incidence and prognosis. Integrating lifestyle modification into public health programs offers a proactive approach to breast cancer prevention by targeting these modifiable risk factors at the population level. This narrative review explores the evidence supporting lifestyle interventions, including dietary patterns, exercise, weight management, and behavioral counseling, and examines strategies for incorporating them into national and community-based public health initiatives. The review highlights successful programs, identifies barriers to implementation, and underscores the potential of lifestyle-focused interventions to reduce breast cancer risk and improve overall population health.
