UNASSIGNED: Over one-third of @entity0 survivors experience @entity717 . Black @entity1 present with factors associated with greater @entity717 , including: increased body mass index (BMI), more @entity1442 stage at diagnosis, and varying treatment type compared with Whites. No prior research has evaluated the relationship between race and @entity717 using validated tools and controlling for these factors. Data were drawn from a survey study among 610 @entity1 with stage I-III hormone receptor positive @entity0 . The disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (QuickDASH) is an 11-item self-administered questionnaire that has been validated for @entity0 survivors to assess global @entity2045 function over the past 7  days. Linear regression and mediation analysis estimated the relationships between race, BMI and QuickDASH score, adjusting for demographics and treatment types. Black @entity1 (n  =  98) had 7.3 points higher average QuickDASH scores than White (n  =  512) @entity1 (p  <  0.001). After adjusting for BMI, age, education, @entity5 treatment, months since diagnosis, and aromatase inhibitor status, Black @entity1 had an average 4-point (95  % confidence interval 0.18-8.01) higher QuickDASH score (p  =  0.04) than White @entity1 . Mediation analysis suggested that BMI attenuated the association between race and disability by 40  %. Even several years post-treatment, Black @entity0 survivors had greater @entity717 , which was partially mediated by higher BMIs. Close monitoring of high BMI Black @entity1 may be an important step in reducing disparities in @entity5 survivorship. More research is needed on the relationship between race, BMI, and @entity717 .

Black XXXX survivors experience greater @entity717 .
