中国山东大学的新研究表明："梨状"女性（大腿和臀部有脂肪）更容易患有可以治愈的乳腺癌。他们发现：身体质量指数高但腰围与臀部比小于1的女性更有可能患雌激素受体阳性乳腺癌。

This form of the disease, in which oestrogen can attach itself to proteins in the cancer and stimulate growth, is usually treated with hormone blocking drugs. In contrast, women with a high waist-to-hip ratio are more likely to have ER- (oestrogen-receptor negative) breast cancer.

这种疾病的雌激素自行与癌症中的蛋白质结合、刺激生长，通常可用激素阻断药物进行治疗。反过来，腰臀比较高的女性更有可能患有雌激素受体阴性乳腺癌。

This form of the disease can't be treated with hormone blocking drugs and chemotherapy has to be employed.

这类疾病无法用激素阻断药物进行治疗，必须采用化疗。

Significantly, the greater risk of developing ER-breast cancer in women with a high waist-to-hip ratio is present even if they aren't obese, the research found. For the study, researchers recruited 1,316 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Body measurements were taken, details of their form of cancer noted (whether it was ER+ or ER-) and they were compared to a control group.

值得注意的是，研究发现：即使腰臀比高的女性并不胖，她们还是更有可能患有雌激素受体阴性乳腺癌。研究人员招募了1316位刚诊断出患有乳腺癌的女性，对她们进行了身体检查，记录其癌症类型的细节（无论是雌激素受体阳性乳腺癌还是雌激素受体阴性乳腺癌），并将其与对照组对比。
