Women with bigger feet (the average UK shoe size is a five), trunk and shoulder breadth in childhood had a greater risk of breast cancer, according to a study at Bristol University.
An increased foot size might be linked to greater calorie intake during childhood, which has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer.
