Erratum to: Breast Cancer Res Treat DOI 10.1007/s10549-006-9292-y

We regret to inform you that we have identified an error in the data on height reported in Table 5 of our manuscript “Body size, weight change, fat distribution and breast cancer risk in Hispanic and non-Hispanic white women” printed in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment. The corrected data is presented below. We erroneously reported that Hispanic post-menopausal women with very short stature were at reduced breast cancer risk with greater American Indian ancestry when in factor these women are at increased risk. All other numbers and p values were correctly published.
