Height, weight, and risk of breast cancer relapse. 1985

T Eberlein, and R Simon, and S Fisher, and M E Lippman

The records of 231 patients with primary breast cancer and 85 patients with metastatic breast cancer were reviewed to determine whether indices of body weight were associated with prognosis. Results support previous reports that indices of body weight are relatively weak, but real, prognostic factors.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
