Resumen

MORATO-MARTINEZ, Marina et al. A standardized, integral nutritional intervention and physical activity program reduces body weight in women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2021, vol.38, n.3, pp.575-584.  Epub 12-Jul-2021. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.03409.

Introduction:

breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer among women in developed countries. At diagnosis, approximately 70 % of women are overweight, and the additional weight gain that can result from the ensuing treatments has been associated with cancer recurrence and progression.

Objectives:

the main objective was to compare the effect of only a nutritional intervention (CG) with a nutrition education program (nutritional intervention, nutrition education, and physical activity) (IG) for 1 year.

Methods:

a total of 65 women with breast cancer who had been evaluated at the Clinical Nutrition Department, La Paz University Hospital, Madrid, Spain were recruited into 2 groups: a control group (CG) and an intervention group (IG).

Results:

the IG showed a significant reduction in body weight (-1.87 ± 3.41 vs. 1.48 ± 2.01 kg, p < 0.05), BMI (-0.61 ± 1.40 vs. 0.65 ± 0.88 kg/m2, p < 0.05), total cholesterol (-32.92 ± 38.45 vs. -3.23 ± 39.73 mg/dl, p < 0.05), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (-35.29 ± 27.50 vs. 6.33 ± 40.70 mg/dl, p < 0.05). Both groups were shown to be more conscious of the importance of physical activity, with increased consumption of grains, fruits, oily fish, and dairy.

Conclusions:

dietary interventions and physical activity were shown to be important to achieving several physical and physiological benefits that could reduce some risk factors associated with breast cancer recurrence and progression.
