Breast cancer is the most prevalent case in Indonesia, with a total of 68,858 cases recorded in 2022. Breast cancer can occur due to several risk factors, including obesity and a history of breastfeeding. In Indonesia, according to Riskesdas, the prevalence of obesity has increased from 2007 to 2013. Currently, many mothers choose formula milk as a substitute or supplement to breastfeeding. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between obesity, history of breastfeeding, and the incidence of breast cancer among female patients at Tugurejo Hospital, Semarang. This study utilizes a quantitative approach with an observational analytical design and a cross-sectional approach. Consecutive sampling technique is used to select the samples.
