21 May 2019 --- Researchers have investigated the impact that Body Mass Index (BMI), exercise and consumption of soy food have on bone fracture rates among breast cancer survivors. A decade-long study found that higher soy intake was associated with a 77 percent reduced risk of osteoporotic fractures in younger women while exercise showed a significantly reduced risk of fractures among older women. One of the key findings is that the novel association of soy food intake with osteoporotic fractures in breast cancer survivors could help guide future treatments, but authors indicate that further research needs to be carried out.
