Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine possible associations between diet and fatigue. Dietary intake using a 4-day food diary was assessed in 40 cancer survivors. Cancer survivors had completed all cancer treatments at least 12 weeks prior and had their fatigue assessed with the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI). Participants were placed into one of three fatigue levels, “no fatigue”, “moderate fatigue”, or “severe fatigue” based on their BFI. Mean differences in food group, eating patterns and nutrient intake were analyzed using ANOVAs, K-means cluster analysis, chisquares and proportional odds model.
