Abstract
A recent investigation of physical activity, disability, and the risk of breast cancer among older women in the Iowa 65+ Rural Health Study reported a decreased risk of breast cancer among women with any disability compared with physically capable but inactive women (relative risk [RR] = 0.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.2-0.9). Because of the intriguing nature of that association, those investigators urged replication before drawing any conclusions.
