The current systematic literature review and meta-analysis extends and confirms the associations of obesity with an unfavourable overall and breast cancer survival in pre and postmenopausal breast cancer, regardless of when BMI is ascertained. Increased risks of mortality in underweight and overweight women and J-shape associations with total mortality were also observed. The recommendation of maintaining a healthy body weight throughout life is important as obesity is a pandemic health concern.
