The current meta-analysis suggests that the serum adiponectin may be inversely associated with breast cancer. Decreased serum adiponectin levels in premenopausal women may also be inversely associated with breast cancer risk other than postmenopausal status. In addition, low serum adiponectin levels in Asian women were more likely to be associated with breast cancer risk than Caucasian women.
