Objetivo: Explicar la asociación entre los factores de riesgo y la prevalencia de cáncer de mama en mujeres de un hospital gineco-obstétrico. Métodos: estudio cuantitativo, predictivo, no experimental, transversal y retrospectivo. Se realizó a dos grupos de mujeres con y sin diagnóstico de cáncer de mama (CAMA) entre 20 a 70 años durante el 2015-2020. Resultados principales: Se estudiaron 284 expedientes de mujeres, 136 conformaron GCC y 148 G-SC, con una mediana de edad de 50.5 y 43.1 años respectivamente. Los factores de riesgo que se asociaron al desarrollo de CAMA fueron edad (OR 0.946, IC 95% 0.920- 0.973 p = 0.000), antecedente familiar de CAMA (OR 0.275, IC% 95% 0.837-1.126 p = 0.000) y consumo de alcohol (OR 4.151, IC 95% 1.772- 9.725 p = 0.001). Conclusión general: La prevalencia del cáncer de mama está asociada a factores de riesgo no modificables como: mayor edad de la mujer e historia familiar de cáncer de mama. Otros factores de riesgo no modificables como el consumo de alcohol se asocian al incremento de padecer esta neoplasia.
Objective: To explain the association between risk factors and the prevalence of breast cancer in women in a gynecological-obstetric hospital. Methodology: quantitative, predictive, non-experimental, cross-sectional and retrospective study. Two groups of women with and without a diagnosis of breast cancer between 20 and 70 years old were carried out during 2015-2020. Result: 284 files of women were studied, 136 formed GCC and 148 G-SC, with a median age of 50.5 and 43.1 years, respectively. The risk factors associated with the development of breast cancer were age (OR 0.946, CI 95% 0.920-0.973 p = 0.000), family history of CAMA (OR 0.275, CI% 95% 0.837-1.126 p = 0.000) and consumption of alcohol (OR 4.151, CI 95% 1.772-9.725 p = 0.001). Conclusión: The prevalence of breast cancer is associated with non-modifiable risk factors such as: older women and family history of breast cancer. Other non-modifiable risk factors such as alcohol consumption are associated with an increase in suffering from this neoplasm.
