Meme Kanseri Tanısı Almış Kadınlarda Beslenme Durumu, Yaşam Kalitesi ve Akdeniz Diyetine Bağlılığın Değerlendirilmesine İlişkin Bir Araştırma

Amaç: Bu araştımanın amacı meme kanseri tanısı almış kadınlarda yaşam kalitesi ve Akdeniz diyetine uyumun araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bir yıl içerisinde tanı almış 120 meme kanserli kadın araştırmaya katılmıştır. Bazı antropometrik ölçümler alınmıştır. Ayrıca Akdeniz Diyeti Kalite İndeksi (MEDAS) ve Avrupa Kanser Tedavi ve Organizasyon Komitesi Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği (EORTC QLQ-C30) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Ortalama yaşları 49.8±10.56 yıl olan 120 meme kanserli katılımcının %42.5’i normal ağırlıktadır. Katılımcıların bel çevreleri ve bel/kalça oranları sırasıyla ortalama 94.6±12.20 cm, 0.87±0.10’dir. Vücut yağ yüzdeleri %36.8±8.61 olarak saptanmıştır. Toplam enerji alımları 1944.9±385.24 kkal ve toplam alınan yağın enerjiden gelen yüzdesi ortalama %35.6±4.81 olarak saptanmıştır. Hastaların ortalama beden kütle indeksi (BKİ) değerleri 29.0±5.80 kg/m2 olup; %40.8’i obezdir. Ortalama MEDAS skoru 7.3±2.65; EORTC QLQ-C30 skoru ise 69.7±11.94’dur. Hastalarda BKI, bel çevresi ile MEDAS skoru arasında negatif; MEDAS skorları ile EORTC skorları arasında pozitif korelasyon saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Akdeniz diyeti uyumu yüksek olan meme kanseri hastalarının, fiziksel, duygusal ve sosyal yaşam kalitesi daha yüksektir. Bu nedenle meme kanserli hastalarda değiştirilebilir risk faktörlerinin değerlendirilmesi hastalığın prognozu açısından elzemdir.

An Investigation into the Assessment of Nutritional Status, Quality of Life, and Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet among Women Affected by Breast Cancer

Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the quality of life and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) among female breast cancer patients. Material and Method: The study included a cohort of 120 women who received a breast cancer diagnosis within the last year. Anthropometric measurements were conducted, and body composition analysis was carried out to determine body fat percentage. The Mediterranean Diet Adherence Scale (MEDAS) and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) were employed for data collection. Results: A total of 120 breast cancer patients, with an average age of 49.8±10.56 years, were enrolled in the study. Among these participants, 42.5% were categorized as having a normal weight. The mean waist circumference and waist/hip ratio were 94.6±12.20 cm and 0.87±0.10, respectively. Body fat percentages were determined to be 36.8±8.61%. The average total energy intake was 1944.9±385.24 kcal, with the percentage of total fat intake from energy averaging at 35.6±4.81%. Patients had a mean body mass index (BMI) of 29.0±5.80 kg/m², with 40.8% of them classified as obese. The mean MEDAS score was 7.3±2.65, and the EORTC QLQ-C30 score averaged at 69.7±11.94. There is a negative correlation was found between BMI, waist circumference and MEDAS score; A positive correlation was found between MEDAS scores and EORTC scores. Conclusion: Breast cancer patients with high compliance with the Mediterranean diet have a higher quality of physical, emotional and social life. Therefore, evaluation of modifiable risk factors in breast cancer patients is essential for the prognosis of the disease.
