Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals CAM use in women with breast cancer and those without, highlighting lifestyle and socioeconomic factors linked to health-related quality of life.

Key Points

  • CAM use was reported by 34.3% of women without breast cancer and 38.6% with breast cancer, showcasing its prevalence in both groups.
  • Age, marital status, and smoking habits were significant lifestyle factors associated with CAM use among participants.
  • Analysis utilizing multivariable logistic regression examined the relationship between CAM use and various factors including comorbidities and HRQoL.
  • Findings suggest that while common among women, CAM use did not differ significantly between those with and without breast cancer, indicating broader implications.
