Inverse association between breast cancer incidence and degree of visual impairment in Finland

A total of 10 935 women with visual impairment were identified from the Finnish Register of Visual Impairment and followed up for cancer through the Finnish Cancer Registry for years 1983–1996. Breast cancer risk decreased by degree of visual impairment (P for trend 0.04) which suggests a dose–respo...
