AbstractBackgroundBreast cancer survivors rank fatigue (e.g., decreased vitality) as their number one concern affecting quality of life. Excess adiposity is associated with decreased vitality in breast cancer survivors, yet weight loss intervention trials report inconsistent effects on this parameter.MethodsThis is a secondary analysis of the Exercise and Nutrition to Enhance Recovery and Good Health for You trial, in which 692 overweight or obese breast cancer survivors ≤5 years from diagnosis, initiated weight loss interventions, and completed assessments semi-annually for 2 years. Assessments included the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire and the SF-36 MOS vitality subscale as an inverse measure of fatigue. Multilevel structural equation models estimated the direct effects of physical activity on vitality and indirect effects through body mass index (BMI) changes.ResultsWithin-person findings show that at assessments with greater physical activity, BMI was significantly lower (B = −0.07, p < 0.001) and vitality was higher (B = 0.22, p < 0.001). However, there was no direct relationship between lower BMI and higher vitality (B = −0.11, p = 0.262) after controlling for the relationship of physical activity with BMI and physical activity with vitality. The between-person indirect effect of physical activity change through BMI change to vitality was significant (B = 0.03, p < 0.001). Participants whose physical activity was above the mean (B = 0.37, p < 0.001) and whose BMI was below the mean (B = −1.05, p < 0.001) were more likely to report greater vitality.ConclusionImprovements in vitality are primarily associated with increases in physical activity rather than BMI changes in this trial. Vitality was lower among survivors with higher BMI, although within-individual changes in BMI had no effect on vitality. Physical activity and weight loss share mechanistic links to vitality with physical activity potentially increasing (e.g., in an additive or synergistic manner) the effect of BMI reduction on vitality.

Abstract Background Breast cancer survivors have a high incidence of osteoporosis-related fractures; the associated factors are understudied. We investigated incidence of bone fracture and its associations with soy food consumption, exercise, and body mass index among breast cancer survivors. Methods This prospective study included 4139 stage 0–III breast cancer patients and 1987 pre-/perimenopausal and 2152 postmenopausal patients. Fractures were assessed at 18 months and at 3, 5, and 10 years after cancer diagnosis. Osteoporotic fractures were defined as fractures caused by falls from standing height and at sites associated with osteoporosis. Exercise and soy isoflavone intake were assessed at 6 and 18 months postdiagnosis. Weight and height were measured at baseline. Lifetable and Cox regression analyses were employed. All statistical tests were two sided. Results The 10-year incidence for osteoporotic fractures was 2.9% and 4.4% for pre-/perimenopausal and postmenopausal patients, respectively. High soy isoflavone intake was associated with reduced risk among pre-/perimenopausal patients (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.09 to 0.53, for soy isoflavone mg/d ≥56.06 vs <31.31; Ptrend < .001) but not among postmenopausal patients (Pinteraction < .01). Overweight (vs normal weight) was a risk factor for pre-/perimenopausal patients (HR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.04 to 3.14) but not for postmenopausal patients (HR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.43 to 1.03; Pinteraction = .01). Exercise was inversely associated with osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal patients (HR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.33 to 0.97, for metabolic equivalents hours ≥12.6 vs <4.5) following a dose-response pattern (Ptrend = .035), an association not modified by menopausal status. Conclusions Our findings, especially the novel association of soy food intake with osteoporotic fractures in breast cancer survivors, if confirmed, can help guide future strategies for fracture risk reduction in this vulnerable population.
