The study conducted by University of Arizona, Tucson researchers revealed that Hip bone mineral density or high bone mineral density (BMD) may help predict a woman's risk of developing breast cancer after menopause.

The researchers, in the study published in Cancer, followed 9,941 postmenopausal women averaged 63 years old and found 327 of them developed breast cancer during the 8.4 years of research period. They studied Gail scores and hip BMD data gathered from these women and found that the women with a high Gail risk scores had a 35 % high risk for developing breast cancer compared to women with a low Gail risk scores, and a 25 % increase in breast cancer risk with each unit increase in hip BMD.
