乳腺癌是美国女性最常见的癌症，以及排名第二的癌症相关死因。根据既往研究报告，睡眠持续时间与乳腺癌的相关性结果不一。

2019年3月21日，国际抗癌联盟《国际癌症杂志》在线发表美国夏威夷大学癌症中心、南加利福尼亚大学凯克医学院诺里斯综合癌症中心的研究报告，探讨了睡眠持续时间、体重指数与乳腺癌发生风险的相关性。

该大样本多种族人群队列研究于1993～1996年对夏威夷和洛杉矶地区74481例白人、黑人、夏威夷原住民、日本裔、拉丁裔无乳腺癌女性进行问卷调查，随访直至死亡或截至2013年12月31日，分析睡眠持续时间、体重指数的相互作用与乳腺癌发生风险的相关性。

睡眠持续时间分类：

正常：7～8小时

较短：≤6小时

较长：≥9小时

体重指数（体重÷身高平方）分类：

苗条：<18.5kg/m²

正常：18.5～23.9kg/m²

超重：24.0～27.9kg/m²

肥胖：≥28.0kg/m²

结果，研究期间共发生乳腺癌5790例，与睡眠正常女性相比：

睡眠较短女性：乳腺癌风险高3%（风险比：1.03；95%置信区间：0.97～1.09）

睡眠较长女性：乳腺癌风险高5%（风险比：1.05，95%置信区间：0.95～1.15）

按年龄、体重指数、种族、激素受体状态进行单因素分层分析，未见显著相互作用效应。

当分析睡眠持续时间与体重指数双因素相互作用效应时，与睡眠正常的体重指数正常女性相比：

睡眠正常的苗条女性：乳腺癌风险低34%（风险比：0.66，95%置信区间：0.50～0.86）

睡眠较短的超重女性：乳腺癌风险高21%（风险比：1.21，95%置信区间：1.10～1.34）

睡眠正常的超重女性：乳腺癌风险高22%（风险比：1.22，95%置信区间：1.12～1.33）

睡眠较短的肥胖女性：乳腺癌风险高35%（风险比：1.35，95%置信区间：1.20～1.53）

睡眠正常的肥胖女性：乳腺癌风险高27%（风险比：1.27，95%置信区间：1.15～1.42）

睡眠较长的肥胖女性：乳腺癌风险高46%（风险比：1.46，95%置信区间：1.21～1.76）

因此，该研究结果表明，将来有必要进一步关注睡眠质量、昼夜节律变化、褪黑素与乳腺癌发生风险的相关性。

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second-leading cause of cancer-related death among women. Inconsistent findings for the relationship between melatonin levels, sleep duration, and breast cancer have been reported. We investigated the association of sleep duration at cohort entry and its interaction with body mass index (BMI) with risk of developing breast cancer in the large population-based Multiethnic Cohort study. Among the 74,481 at-risk participants, 5,790 breast cancer cases were identified during the study period. Although we detected no significant association between sleep duration and breast cancer risk, higher risk estimates for short (HR=1.03; 95%CI: 0.97-1.09) and long sleep (HR=1.05; 95%CI: 0.95-1.15) compared to normal sleep (7-8 hours) were found. The patterns for models stratified by age, BMI, ethnicity, and hormone receptor status were similar but did not indicate significant interaction effects. When examining the combined sleep duration and BMI interaction effect, in comparison to the normal BMI-normal sleep group, risk estimates for underweight, overweight, and obesity were similar across categories of sleep duration (≤6, 7-8, ≥9 hours). The underweight-normal sleep group had lower breast cancer incidence (HR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.50-0.86), whereas the overweight-short sleep, overweight-normal sleep group and all obese women experienced elevated breast cancer incidence. The respective HRs for short, normal, and long sleep among obese women were 1.35 (95%CI: 1.20-1.53), 1.27 (95%CI: 1.15-1.42), and 1.46 (95%CI: 1.21-1.76). Future perspectives need to examine the possibility that sleep quality, variations in circadian rhythm, and melatonin are involved in breast cancer etiology.
