Uterine leiomyomata (fibroids) are hormonally responsive tumors, but little is known about risk factors. Early-life exposures may influence uterine development and subsequent response to hormones in adulthood.
The study evaluated associations of early-life and childhood exposures with early onset fibroids in 3,534 black women.
D'Aloisio found that the dietary risk factor for the development of fibroids was having been fed soy formula.
