Postmenopausal survivors of @entity0 for whom hormone replacement therapy is contraindicated are at risk for development of @entity170 . The primary purpose of this article is to describe, in a sample of 30 postmenopausal survivors of @entity0 , their @entity460 and @entity560 intake compared with recommended dietary guidelines for those nutrients for postmenopausal @entity1 not taking hormone replacement therapy and the body mass index of these @entity1 as nutritional status risk factors for development of @entity170 . Bone health and presence of @entity170 were determined by bone mineral density testing of the spine, hip, and forearm. To obtain @entity460 and @entity560 intake, including supplements, 3-day diet records were completed; height and weight measures were used to calculate body mass index. The sample @entity1 ranged in age from 42 to 65 years; the majority (56%) had been menopausal or off hormone replacement therapy for 5 years or less, and 70% had completed @entity0 treatment for 5 years or less (except @entity440 ). The majority (63%) were of medium body frame size; 30% were of small frame size. The mean body mass index (27.3) and mean weight (160 lbs) indicate that these @entity1 , as a group, were over-weight. Although a large percent (63%) were taking @entity460 supplements, the mean daily intake (diet and supplements) of @entity460 (1,353 mg) and @entity560 (403 IU) was less than the recommended dietary guidelines for these nutrients in this population. At study entry, 80% of the @entity1 were @entity6092 (60%) or @entity3604 (20%) and none was receiving treatment/prevention for @entity170 ; only 1 had a previous known @entity170 diagnosis. This is a special group of @entity1 for whom screening and preventive strategies for @entity170 are imperative.
