Long-term study in Danish women finds no disease link to silicone implants.
2004 SEP 2 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A long-term study in Danish women revealed no disease link to silicone breast implants.
V.B. Breiting and colleagues "evaluated long-term symptoms and conditions and medication use among 190 Danish women with cosmetic silicone breast implants compared with 186 women who had undergone breast reduction surgery and with 149 women from the general population. Breast implant and reduction surgeries were performed from 1973 to 1988 at one public hospital and one private plastic surgery clinic."
"Among women with breast implants, the average implantation time was 19 years, 60% (n=114) had only one implantation, and 10% (n=19) had undergone explantation before the time of study (1997 to 1998)," the plastic surgeons reported.
They "found no material differences in self-reported diseases or symptoms among study groups, except for breast pain, which was reported nearly three times as often by women with implants than by women with breast reduction (odds ratio, 2.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.4 to 5.3). Approximately 80% of women in each study group reported at least one symptom."
They also found that women with breast implants also reported higher use of psychotropic drugs than those in the control groups.
