Objective: Physical activity may protect against breast cancer by modulating breast tissue composition. We evaluated the association of physical activity with two visual assessments of breast tissue composition-percentage of mammographic density (a radiologic observation) and age-related lobular involution (a histologic assessment). Methods: Among 164 premenopausal and postmenopausal women with breast cancer, physical activity (household, occupational, and recreational) performed during the year preceding the diagnosis was evaluated using a validated questionnaire. Percentage of mammographic density was assessed in the contralateral breast by a computer-assisted method. Age-related lobular involution was assessed in normal breast tissue on H&E-stained slides. Multivariate generalized linear models were used to assess associations by quartiles of physical activity. Results: Overall, we observed no significant association between total physical activity and percentage of mammographic density or degree of lobular involution. However, occupational physical activity was significantly positively associated with the predominant type I/no type III lobules among premenopausal women (last quartile: prevalence ratio [PR], 5.92; P-trend = 0.04). Although total physical activity was positively associated with the predominant type I/no type III lobules among premenopausal women (last quartile: PR, 2.61; P-trend = 0.08), an inverse association was observed among postmenopausal women (last quartile: PR, 0.44; P-trend = 0.01). Higher levels of household physical activity were significantly associated with higher prevalence of lower mammographic density and complete involution among postmenopausal women (last quartile: PR, 1.21; P-trend = 0.01). Conclusions: Physical activity may be associated with less dense and more involuted breasts. Physical activity's effect on mammographic density or age-related lobular involution may mediate, in part, its protective effect against breast cancer.
