The current study was designed to explore the relationship between selected anthropometric and bone mineral density parameters and the risk of breast cancer in premenopausal and postmenopausal Saudi women.
Material And Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among premenopausal ( = 308) and postmenopausal ( = 148) women at two Medical Cities in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from May 2015 to June 2016.

- The study aimed to explore the impact of serum vitamin D and nutritional factors on breast cancer in Saudi women, involving 500 participants (250 breast cancer patients and 250 controls) between 30-60 years old.
- Results showed that over 80% of participants had insufficient vitamin D levels, with breast cancer patients having higher cholesterol intake compared to controls, and breast density linked to vitamin D deficiency symptoms.
- The conclusion highlighted that due to widespread vitamin D deficiency in Saudi Arabia, establishing a clear link to breast cancer is challenging, although older age, high cholesterol, and paresthesia may be associated with breast cancer incidence.
