Height
For women, being tall slightly increases the risk of developing breast cancer.
A woman of any height will have a slightly higher risk of breast cancer than another woman who is shorter than her. Height is determined by the interaction of your genes, nutrition and hormone levels, but we still don't know how these factors influence breast cancer risk.
