Data were abstracted by a frst reviewer and verifed by a second. Study quality was rated according to predefned criteria. “Fair” or “good” quality studies were included. Results were summarised by meta-analysis whenever adequate material was available.RESULTS： Twelve case-control studies were included in the review. Meta-analysis showed brassiere wearing during sleep was associated with a two times ofincreased odds. CONCLUSION： The present review demonstrates insuffcient evidence to establish a positive association between the duration and type of brassiere wearing and breast cancer. Further research is essential; specifcally, a large-scale epidemiological study of a better design is needed to examine the association between various forms of brassiere exposure in detail and breast cancer risk, with adequate control of confounding variables.展开更多

The measurements are based on the sectional analysis of the fringe pattern generated by means of moire topography. They include the area ratio, shape ratio and root mean square (RMS) of the height deviation of the moulded cup from the standard shape profile. Ultimately, the RMS was found to be a satisfactory method of assessing the shape conformity and a guideline for determining a good fit from the RMS value was then derived.展开更多
