Associations between Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels and Health-Related Quality-of-Life Measures in Patients with Breast Cancer: A Longitudinal Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent evidence suggests that vitamin D might lower breast cancer mortality. There is also growing interest in vitamin D's potential association with health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL). Associations between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentrations and HRQoL were examined prospectively among breast cancer survivors at the time of diagnosis and 1 year later.

Methods

504 women with incident early-stage breast cancer at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center were included, and 372 patients provided assessments 1 year later. At each timepoint, participants provided blood samples and completed the SF-36 Health Survey, and surveys on perceived stress, depression, and fatigue. Season-adjusted serum 25OHD concentrations were analyzed in relation to HRQo
