The average age of diagnosis of breast cancer in America is 61 years old.<ref>http://www.webmd.com/breast-cancer/news/20050922/fewer-american-women-dying-of-breast-cancer</ref>  But the average age of participants in this study was only 42 years old, too young for the average person to develop breast cancer. This age disparity is analogous to an attempt to draw conclusions about heart disease by studying teenagers.
