Zusammenfassung

Viele epidemiologischen Studien zeigen deutlich den hemmenden Effekt des Stillens auf die Brustkrebsentwicklung. So konnte gezeigt werden, dass das Stillen für ein Jahr das individuelle Risiko für ein prämenopausales Mammakarzinom bis 45 % reduziert. Bei einer Verlängerung der „ Lebensstillzeit” nach entsprechend vielen Schwangerschaften und langer Stillzeit, könnte für Industrieländer mit einer 42 %igen Reduktion auch des postmenopausalen Karzinoms gerechnet werden. Die meisten Autoren vermuten, dass der protektive Wert des Stillens hormonbedingt sei. Weitere theoretische Ansätze ergeben sich aus den zunehmend bekannten immunologischen Eigenschaften der Muttermilch. Neben den bekannten positiven Effekten des Stillens auf die kindliche Gesundheit, sollte also auch aus Sicht der Gesundheitsprävention der Frau das Stillen weiter gefördert werden.

Abstract

Many epidemiological studies show clearly the restraining effect of breast-feeding on breast cancer. So it could be shown that breast-feeding for one year reduces the individual risk for premenopausal breast cancer by 45 %. The risk of postmenopausal breast cancer in the developed countries could be decreased by 42 % by increasing the breast feeding time in life. Most authors assume that the protective value of breast feeding is hormone-conditioned. Further theoretical implications result from the increasing knowledge of the immunologic characteristics of theÂ’mother’s milk. Beside well-known positive effects of breast- feeding on children’s health, breast-feeding should also be further promoted from the view of women’s health.
