“Breast cancer” and “youth” are two terms not often linked together. But there’s a growing body of evidence showing that certain factors early in life – like diet, activity, and weight – can have an important impact on a woman’s breast cancer risk later in life.
To help parents guide their daughters toward optimal breast health – as well as lifelong good health – we developed the “Hey, Mom & Dad” card (below). A high resolution file (PDF) can be downloaded: here. A regular resolution file (PDF) can be downloaded: here.
For details on the science behind the “Hey, Mom & Dad” card, please see the slideshow “Integrating Risk Across the Lifespan: The Case of Breast Cancer Prevention” and the “Prevention Papers: Breast Cancer Prevention.”
