In postmenopausal women, the risk of breast cancer is higher if they are obese, compared to a woman with a normal body mass index. Excess body fat increases the risk of hyperinsulinaemia, too much insulin in the blood, overproduction of the hormone estradiol, produced by the ovaries, and inflammation.  Physical activity is another way to improve your lifestyle. Reducing or avoiding alcohol consumption is also important. Health professionals should help women to adopt a healthier lifestyle. This will reduce their risk of breast cancer. In Togo, statistics from the hospital register show that 27.1% of women have breast cancer.
