In Brief:
This study assessed the associations of vasomotor symptom occurrence and change in severity of vasomotor symptoms over 12 months with dietary intakes of fiber, fat, and selected soy-containing foods, and use of phytoestrogen or vitamin E supplements in women with recent early-stage breast cancer. Decreased symptom severity at 12 months was significantly associated with high dietary fiber intake; increased symptom severity after 12 months was significantly associated with higher body mass index, tamoxifen use, and smoking.
